ISLAMABAD, Jun 10 (APP): Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Monday said the fake bank accounts case was a classic example of money laundering and white collar crime in the country.

Dr Firdous, in a statement, said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had started investigation in the said case in December 2015 by taking a lead from one money changer. By June 2018, it had surfaced that many high profile persons were involved in the case, she added.

She said former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Saqib Nisar had taken a suo-moto notice on the poor investigation of the case. After the arrest of Hussain Lawai and Taha Raza, who were close aides of former president Asif Ali Zardari, a joint investigation team (JIT) was constituted on the directive of ex-CJP.
