ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) gropes in the dark in almost around two dozen high profile cases involving financial scams of over Rs250 billion since 2008.
Majority of cases either apparently go on ‘stop-and-go pattern’ since 2007-08 or the agency has put its investigation on the backburner,
according to a study of official statistics and files. Some key cases have also hit roadblocks due to unexplained reasons during this time. Investigators are currently dealing with more than 4,567 cases in different courts, according to official figures Geo News collected on authority. The agency is handling 11,567 inquiries following more than 35,000 complaints (70% complaints belong to cybercrime), revealed official statistics.
