Elite investigation agencies of the United Kingdom on Thursday interrogated Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) chief Altaf Hussain for seven hours in connection with a money laundering case, reported a Briton-based website.

The MQM leader has been summoned for the second phase of interrogation on July 17.

The agency, which investigates money laundering and anti-terrorism affairs, called Altaf at a police station in Central London and asked questions about the money recovered during a raid at his place, the property in his name and about his source of income.

Altaf said the property was purchased with the money donated by party workers and it was owned by the MQM. “Hard cash is also the donations from the party workers,” he added.

According to sources, if the property and money is proved to be legal, the case against the MQM leader would be withdrawn.

Meanwhile, talking to reporters, Interior Minister Nisar Ali Khan said the MQM chief’s interrogation with reference to the Imran Farooq murder case was being carried out in accordance with British laws.

Nisar said the interrogation was being carried out in London and not in Pakistan but “the Pakistani government is constantly informed”, adding however, that the British government had not approached Pakistan for assistance regarding the issue.

On June 20, as part of their investigations into the Imran Farooq murder case, Scotland Yard raided Altaf’s London residence and seized some things in relation to the case.

Following this, Altaf announced stepping down as party head on June 30, voluntarily handing over party’s authority and responsibilities to the Rabita Committee, only to take back the decision a few hours later on request of his party workers.

  2. Can PT make the pic bigger?? I like looking at it for a good laugh after a hard day.

  3. at long last the strong arm of law got to the master who originally started bhata geri in Karachi

  4. I feel sorry for Altaf Hussain and I suggest that he should merge MQM with APML of General Musharaf. and entrust the responsibility to Gen Musharaf till he is cleared by the present investigations

    • APML Chief Gen.(Rtd.) Musharraf is himself under house arrest in Pakistan and is facing many cases including high treason charges that could lead to gallows. Both the past lions (AH and GM) are goats at this point in time.

    • he has 100000 workers and every one give him 1000 from their poket. If Altaf Hussain asks money his lover can give millions dollors in one hour . Long Live Altaf HussainAltaf hussain

  6. Party workers are so rich that their donation can purchase London Based House as well as cash. YES Sir, the Party workers means extortionist and donation means extortion money collected by them. Since long people are saying that MQM is Mafia Gang.Educated people in this party should read the news about the interrogation by London Base law enforcing agency. They are not corrupt like Pakistani Agencies.So believe in their findings, if they have BRAIN in side their skull to believe this.

    • They should check his bank account too…..extortion money from last PPP govt is also part of the found…..

  7. .
    There is something about this reporting (not the investigation) …
    But I don't know where exactly to put my finger on …
    .

    • it could be… if the money and property is found to be legal then all charges will be withdrawn AND connect the dot to… Pakistani authorities have not been asked for any assistance.

      But natural… the charges will be dropped

  8. According to sources, if the property and money is proved to be legal, the case against the MQM leader would be withdrawn .

    These thugs will once again get away with murder.

  9. Zushat rooh-ee say aieena hai riswa maira: Born in Pakistan as a free citizen and claiming as a Muhajar, working is USA as a Cab Driver ( hard job), went to UK as a MQM leader, advocating the discrimination of Muhajars, spoke in INDIAN PARLIAMENT requesting them to allow return of Muhajars to India. Making life of others (faithfuls and sorts) miserable. True there had been and will be discrimination against many sectors of population but that does not mean or allow someone to sit in a remote place (London) and hollar insults on others. Where is much touted Islamic Ethics, morality and brotherhood. Sure there are still level minded people in Pakistan, who believe FREEDOM IS PRICELESS and a GIFT OF GOD but I believe PAKISTANIS ARE UNGRATEFUL, INSINCERE and utterly unreasonable people. Extortion, Bhatta, and Violence are condemned all over the world and especially in Islam but how can it is carried out in Pakistan. Where are the sane people? Where are the professed custodians of JUSTICE-Muslims! You only snatch money from the poor and not from strong people.. JUST THINK, THINK HARD YOU SO CALLED CUSTODIANS OF ISLAM. IT IS DISGUSTING!. DISTINGUISH HARAM FROM HALAL and remember the HEREAFTER????????. Period.

  10. THE TRUTH IS THAT ALTAF HUSSAIN WAS WOMEN’S SUPPLIER IN 1970’s AND 1980’s.
    THEN,WHEN HE CAME TO BE ARREST IN 1992 FROM KARACHI HE WENT TO LONDON AND NEVER RETURNED TO PAKISTAN AGAIN.
    WHAT KIND OF POLITICAL LEADER IS THIS WHO EVEN DOESN’T CAME TO HIS COUNTRY FOR THE LAST TWO DECADES.
    ALTAF HUSSAIN IS NOT A POLITICAL LEADER,HE IS A SUPPLIER AND THE BIGGEST MINSTREL.

    • You are probably right as far as your comments are concerned. But please do not use the name of Celine Dion, the celebrated Quebec singer. I am sure she does not know any thing about Bhai Sahib of Karachi and his melodramatic antics.

  12. he should face full justice in Great Britian it is not pakistan to do crimes and give money to police and set free…these are English people they abide by the law.

  13. Party is called a party of poors,The workers are so rich that their donation can purchase London Based House as well as cash. YES Sir, the Party workers means extortionist and donation means extortion money collected by them in the name of Batha,Snatching of Qurbani khals, kidnaping for ransomeso much so mony collected in the name of fitrana, Since long people know ana convinced / are saying that MQM is Mafia Gang.Educated people in this party should read the news about the interrogation by London Base law enforcing agency. They are not corrupt like Pakistani Agencies.So if they have BRAIN in side their skull to believe this

  14. The money recovered was donated by party workers is half truth, it also includes fitrana,hides/skins and extortion got on gun point from karachities

  16. worst possible human being on earth head of munafaks,qatils,mokaprasts responsible for thousands killed in target killings,bathakhor os trillions of dollars-glorified by another zardari to protect his ill gotten trillions.hlaw absconder,british er for twenty years.i cannot imagine how law,jurists,judiciary allows the mutinous,seditious daily speeches from london .wek law scared of law absconder

  17. a thousand tears will not wipe away your guilt, if you are guilty! let nature take its course.Let the long arm of law take its course and treat you as a gangster should be treated – over night the mighty have fallen and in your case don't forget pride comes before the fall!

  18. This is complete hogwash to call this donation money. This is all extortion money collected from the people of Pakistan in the form of bhatta, kidnappings, murders and robberies. Not to forget the skins of sacrificed animals. Everyone should call or email the investigating authority and let them know about this extortion money. Donation money is for poor people and not for the luxury life of one person.

  19. Leave it to PT to find the perfect picture for any occasion. LOL. I think this picture belongs in the dictionary right next to the definition of Crocodile Tears, that were shed when Marhoom Dr. Imran was brutally murdered.

  20. This was a man who on his own could manage only to be a cab driver in Chicago. He gives his permanent address as Agra, India, claims to hold. Dual Pakistani nationality. Lives in London, from where he runs an Extortion Racket, with mercenary killers from South Africa willing to eliminate anybody who resists r challenges this mafia Don. Does nothing, but owns expensive private property which is in his name. So convenient. Every week two PIA Flight Stewards carry a briefcase for him on a Flight, a routine which has been followed for almost 9 years now.

  21. thats disgusting….. the part telling the case may b dropped!! MQM ppl says that AH treats us like his family thats why he informs us everything through speeches, ok then why the hell we never came to know he owns a house in LONDON!!! poor ppl representative are filthy rich!! i pity ppl still dying for MQM and AH.

  22. Altaf Hussain can make any story but he is in the clutches of British Law No way out but goes there where he will spend his time He should have gone there early but it was in his luck to be out this long time After finding enough evidence of his money laundering and other crimes he is going to pay for all that. He has ruined the lives of Karachi people and he must be punished according to the law of the land We will see what he gets and no way he can prove the money and diamonds he got are donations No one gives donations of diamonds British not easy to be fooled Cases against him are going to land him in serious den. No one feels sorry for him Look at the tears why can't he see the orphans and widows of Karachi who lost their loved ones their tears This man is a brutal and hard like a stone got no heart of human

  24. BREAKING NEWS from LONDON: After the raid of Altaf Hussain`s house at Edgeware Road London by ScotlandYard police, there is complete strike in the city of London on the call of MQM. All transport remained off the roads of London and all offices and shops were completely closed. Unidentified armed men (a.k.a. NA-Maloom Afrad) had resorted to aerial firing causing further panic in the city of London.. In his telephonic address to his followers, Altaf Hussain has threatened that London will soon be separated from UK.

  26. This is ayah of Quran when Hak will come then batil will vanish.
    Altaf Bhai and MQM was, is and will GANG OF KILLERS, LAND GRABERS, BHATTH COLLECTORS, ENEMY OF PAKISTAN AND MUHAJIR AND KARACHI, FRIENDS OF INDIAN RAW ALL RABTA COMMEETEE IN KARACHI ARE MOST DANGEROUS PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. When you see them talking on shows, look their faces, liars killers.
