KARACHI: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has decided to contact Interpol for the issuance of a silver notice against Armaghan in connection with the ongoing money laundering probe.
According to sources, the purpose of the Silver Notice is to obtain details of Armaghan’s assets held abroad.
Once issued, the notice would also allow for the freezing of Armaghan’s foreign bank accounts.
The FIA plans to request the repatriation of laundered money to Pakistan through the same Silver Notice.
If approved, the Silver Notice would enable authorities to trace Armaghan’s assets in up to 193 countries, officials said.
Earlier, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had filed a money laundering case against Armaghan Qureshi, the key suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder case.
The investigation revealed that since 2018, Armaghan had been running illegal call centres, generating an illegal monthly income ranging from $300,000 to $500,000, which he transferred via cryptocurrency, Express News reported.
The FIA further disclosed that Armaghan was also involved in selling the cryptocurrency through various companies.
As part of the ongoing money laundering case, eight luxury vehicles purchased with proceeds from cryptocurrency sales were frozen by the authorities.
