KARACHI: The newly-appointed director general of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Sanaullah Abbasi has urged officials to carry out quality investigation and obtain “timely and quality conviction” in the cases of money laundering and terror financing to fulfil requirements of Financial Action Task Force, according to officials.
As the FIA focused on anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terror financing to meet demands of FATF, courts in Balochistan awarded convictions in three major money-laundering cases in the last week of June and 50 similar cases had been registered in Karachi only in which 47 accused had been arrested with recovery of over Rs2 billion cash, said the officials on Tuesday.
ISLAMABAD: The old Islamabad Airport, which is being used for the VVIP flights and military operations, could not provide landing facility to tourists, contrary to the desire of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Moreover, despite the lapse of two years since the new Islamabad International Airport became functional, the status of 660 acres of land and assets of the old airport is still not clear, the audit report of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said.
It was disclosed during the meeting of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
The Prime Minister in a meeting held on September 30 last year took the decision to use the old airport for landing of tourists.
