An Anti-money laundering wing (AML) of FIA reopened the previously closed investigation against Sabir Mithu in Lahore. This legal investigation comes on suspicion of money laundering.
Hence, Sabir Mithu received a call notice from FIA’s Punjab Zone AML to present himself in this case. This notice stated the summon is in response to a criminal investigation that has been ongoing and reopened by FIA due to allegations of money laundering.
According to the notice, FIA found that Sabir has involvement in the illegitimate sale and land acquisition to various government agencies. Then, he turned money from these illegal sales and purchases into priceless goods.
