Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar Wednesday claimed that evidence has emerged of money laundering worth Rs. 1.12 billion and illegal transfers of funds through hawala and hundi in the Bahria Town corruption case.
In a statement, he claimed that when the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) team arrived to carry out the operation, there was an attempt to burn records, a clear sign that something was being concealed.
Tarar stated that a hospital established in Bahria Town was diverted from its original purpose and turned into a hub for illegal activities.
He revealed that during the operation, the FIA seized hidden cash and important records from the hospital, and that cash and other documents were being transferred using an ambulance.
The minister said that a forensic audit of the records is underway and more details will be revealed soon. According to him, the FIA operation has uncovered several key pieces of evidence indicating that the Bahria Town administration was in direct contact with individuals named Imran and Qaiser Amin, both of whom were regularly involved in illegal hawala and hundi transactions.
