Ayyan Ali case – fault left in challan

ISLAMABAD: A senior investigation officer of the Directorate General Customs Intelligence and Investigation has pointed out important faults in the interim challan of supermodel Ayyan Ali’s who was arrested on charges of money laundering.
He has informed in writing chairman Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and Member FBR about these faults.
The investigation officials of the Customs Department of FBR deliberately left faults for the release of Ayyan Ali.
According to the senior investigation officer one of the faults was that Ayyan Ali had given a statement in the court that she had purchased files of plots worth Rs5 million from a housing society and sold it for Rs50 million and that the housing society had paid her Rs50 million in the shape of over $0.5 million.
The investigation team did not carry out any investigation of a man, Mumtaz Hussain, who had some links with that housing society.
Moreover, the person who came to see off Ayyan Ali at airport was not included in the investigation. He was clearly seen on the close circuit television at the Rawal Lounge which was seized by ASF. He was the co-accused in the case and according to the customs intelligence his name was Mushtaq Hussain.
Another fault was that in the challan the housing society man was not asked from which money changer he had bought dollars to give the accused model against Rs50 million. Ayyan Ali mentioned his name as Mumtaz Hussain.
Yet another fault in the challan was that according to Ayyan Ali, her brother, whose name is Zulfiqar Ali, was coming to Islamabad from Karachi to take the dollars.
The name of the judge with whose permission Ayyan Ali’s brother met her was also not mentioned .
