Islamabad: Pakistan’s investigating agency on Tuesday booked former prime minister Imran Khan and other PTI leaders in connection with a prohibited funding case.
The case was filed by the state through FIA’s Corporate Banking Circle in Islamabad. The first information report (FIR), stated that Arif Masood Naqvi — the owner of the Wooton Cricket Limited — transferred “ill-gotten” money to a United Bank Limited (UBL) account registered under the name of the PTI, reports Dawn.
In the FIR, the federal agency alleged that the Abraaj Group transferred $2100,000 to the PTI account in the branch of a bank situated at Jinnah Avenue in Islamabad.
Abraaj Group was a private equity firm, operating on six continents, which is currently in liquidation due to accusations of fraud.
In addition, the party received more financing from two bank accounts of Wotan Cricket Club, read the FIR.
According to Geo News, the FIR came just a day after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued a notice to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in the prohibited funding case after PTI asked the court to stop the agency from probing the case.
