Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has sought time from British authorities to arrange evidence that the money recovered from his possession had been earned through fair means.
According to a private TV channel, Altaf may get a 10-day relaxation by the investigation agency in this regard.
Meanwhile, three more leaders of MQM have been investigated by the agency in the money laundering case.
The fingerprints of these leaders were detected on the currency notes recovered from the residence of Altaf Hussain.
Fingerprints and DNA tests of currency notes have been completed.
Altaf Hussain has pled that most of the people who donated the money were in Pakistan and were being contacted.
It is worth mentioning that the BBC aired a documentary last week in which Dr Imran Farooq murder case, money laundering, political influence and threats and several other issues were discussed with MQM leader Dr Farooq Sattar.
The BBC Two claimed that 0.4 million pounds were found during London police’s raids at the MQM office and Altaf Hussain’s residence.
The raids were conducted on December 6, 2012 and June 18, 2013.
MQM leaders in their statements had slammed the report of BBC and termed it manufactured. Sattar presented his party’s stance on these issues and said the MQM chief Altaf Hussain had never harmed anyone.
Sattar had alleged that the BBC’s documentary on Altaf Hussain was sponsored by pro-Taliban elements.
