KARACHI:
Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officials and a team of their cyber- crime wing arrived at the Axact Karachi office on Wednesday morning to investigate the equipment in the premises, according to local media sources.
Just a day after 45 Axact employees were from their offices following a raid by the FIA, on Wednesday all electronic devices which were confiscated were sent to forensic labs for further investigation, earlier during the day, authorities stated.
The FIA team at Axact’s Karachi head office is copying data from the two main servers which operate all of the software company’s activities worldwide. Further, it is reported that they are gathering data on Axact’s business deals and transactions.
Addressing the media during the ongoing investigation, FIA deputy director Kamran Attaullah said, “We will not seal the office but our team will stay here for 24 hours till the inquiry is complete.”
“If we collect all records today then we will take CEO Shoaib Shaikh’s statement today otherwise tomorrow,” he added, reportedly.
Meanwhile, a FIA team has been ordered to conduct a search operation at Axact office in Islamabad again today. All executives of the company in the twin cities have been summoned on Thursday, authorities added.
The direction of Federal Investigation Agency’s probe into the Axact scandal has changed surprisingly, as the bureaucracy has been rendering the investigation ineffective.
The raiding team head claimed that a filter had been installed and the company would now be unable to make any changes in their records, sources claimed.
