Foreign Ministry Officials Allegedly Collect Rs. 12 Billion from Pakistanis Illegally
Authorities have made a shocking discovery at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs where citizens were allegedly charged around Rs. 12 billion over one year to get their travel documents verified through illegal channels.
Geo News reported that citizens were allegedly charged up to Rs. 800,000 for document verification through unauthorized channels.
A fact-finding report on the scandal revealed that officials allegedly involved in the network included DGs of several Foreign Ministry departments, a former additional secretary and ex-diplomats.
The report also alleged that a private courier company had links with a Foreign Ministry official in connection with the illegal document verification process.
Names and statements of officials allegedly linked to the network have been recorded.
The investigation report was sent to the Foreign Secretary’s Office in July, but it was not forwarded to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) or another investigative agency.
Despite the committee’s recommendations, some officers allegedly linked to the matter were later posted abroad.
