LAHORE: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has seized the properties and bank accounts of Moonis Elahi, son of imprisoned former chief minister of Punjab and PTI president Parvez Elahi, in the money laundering case.
The action has been taken by the FIA following the court orders.
As many as eight accounts of Moonis Elahi in Lahore have been seized by the FIA in which he had received more than Rs480 million and the entire amount has been withdrawn. The documents show the bank accounts used by Moonis Elahi for transactions have been frozen. These accounts, it is alleged, were used for money laundering.
Besides, six properties of Moonis Elahi – five in Kasur and one in Rawalpindi – have also been seized by the FIA.
Meanwhile, Moonis Elahi – the scion of PTI President Parvez Elahi – was declared an absconder on Saturday in the money laundering case he has been nominated in after he fled the country. Moonis is currently living in Spain. Last month, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had lodged a case against Elahi and his son over alleged money laundering in the Panama scandal which had revealed the businesses. –Agencies
