ISLAMABAD:
Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Wednesday said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has recovered “irrefutable evidence” of corruption by Bahria Town during an operation.
The minister informed the media that the FIA had discovered important documents during the raid, which was undertaken in accordance with the law.
“Those documents are irrefutable evidence of Bahria Town’s corruption. This evidence exposed a massive money laundering operation,” the minister stressed. He added that the Safari Hospital was used as a front office to hide the evidence.
Tarar said the FIA team found Bahria Town staff burning the record, but a significant portion has been recovered. He questioned why the record needed to be burned if there was nothing illegal.
This evidence, he contended, is related to the network of Hundi, Hawala and money laundering. Tarar said that using the hospital as a front office and transporting sensitive documents and cash through ambulances is not an ordinary thing.
Tarar further said the FIA is continuing its investigation and has traced the absconders associated with this issue.
