RAWALPINDI: FIA investigators and prosecutors filed a request with the special judge in the Central Rawalpindi Court on Thursday, Express News reported.
FIA Investigators claimed to have found more evidence, including bank transactions against former minister and prime suspect Hamid Saeed Kazmi.
Considering the the serious nature of the collected evidence and financial irregularities, FIA Director Hussain Asghar requested for Kasmi’s non-bailable arrest.
Earlier, Kazmi, was accused of corruption during the course of renting residential buildings for Pakistani pilgrims in Saudi Arabia and inflicting a loss of billions of rupees to the national exchequer. A case was registered against him and he was arrested on March 15, 2011. A Rawalpindi court granted him bail on August 27, 2012.
In previous hearings, Pakistan Muslim League-N MNA Imran Ahmed Shah also alleged that Abdul Qadir Gilani, the son of former Prime Minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, “smuggled” a bulletproof Land Cruiser from Dubai in 2009 as part of the financial irregularities involved in the scam.
Qadir Gilani however, refused to cooperate with the agency and investigators.
The court has adjourned the hearing of this case till March 14.
