Petition for new case against Ayyan accepted

A petition seeking a new money laundering case against model Ayyan Ali was accepted on Saturday.

Banking Court Duty Magistrate Sabir Sultan heard the petition of Custom Intelligence officials which stated that Ayyan Ali was involved in money laundering and not currency smuggling which is why a new case had to be lodged.

Accepting the petition, the court summoned Ayyan Ali on May 25.

Ayyan Ali was arrested from the Islamabad Airport on March 14 by customs officials accused of attempting to smuggle $500,000 to Dubai.
