LAHORE: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has registered a case against Pakistan Ulema Council Chairman Tahir Ashrafi upon the charges of money laundering.
According to the FIR, Rs24million was transferred into Ashrafi’s bank account from Germany.
The government has taken many directives to meet the requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) regarding the implementation of the designation of persons and entities under the UNSC resolutions.
Pakistan, despite making progress in overcoming the shortcomings in its counter-terrorism financing and anti-money laundering regimes, continues to remain under the cloud at the global illicit financing watchdog.
Earlier in March, the provincial governments in Sindh and Punjab sealed several establishments run by the proscribed Jamaatud Dawa (JuD) and other outfits under the National Action Plan (NAP).
