FAISALABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on Tuesday arrested the alleged mastermind be-hind Rs 181 billion tax fraud outside the court premises in Faisalabad.
According to the details, the individual, identified as Hassam Madani, allegedly established a fraudu-lent company in the name of a fake taxi driver, exploiting the identity to orchestrate a complex web of deceit.
The FBR, in its investigation, revealed that Madani and his associates engaged in fraudulent practices within the textile business, manipulating the fabric trade to siphon off funds.
