FIA Forms Team to Solve Cryptic Rs. 172 Billion Islamabad Call Centre Case
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has formed a nine-member joint investigation team (JIT) to investigate an alleged Rs. 172 billion financial scam linked to call centres in Islamabad, sources familiar with the case told ProPakistani.
The FIA has also identified several alleged fake accounts and is examining claims that billions of rupees were transferred abroad through cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.
The JIT will investigate the alleged movement of billions of rupees and submit a progress report to the FIA Director Islamabad every week.
Sources said investigators have so far traced 192 bank and microfinance accounts suspected of being linked to the case.
Assistant Director Umar Arsalan will lead the team, while Assistant Director Law Muhammad Afzal has also been included.
Other members are Waqas Zamard, Inspector Usman Iftikhar, Wajahat Sultan, Talat Naseem, Sub-Inspector Tabish Javed, Liaquat Ali and Danish Sarfraz.
Sources further said the investigation is looking into the possible involvement of senior government officials, although no such involvement has been established.
The case had reportedly remained stalled for around two years before FIA formed the new investigation team.
