Sabir Hamid, who is a close relative of former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, has appeared before the Federal Investigation Agency’s investigative team in the money laundering inquiry.

Sabir, also known as Sabir Mittho, and two others were summoned by the FIA last year for allegedly accumulating illegal assets.

In October 2023, the agency revealed 14 national and five foreign bank accounts. The FIA had also sought a response on transactions of Rs5.34 billion from his accounts. But the case was closed before any inquiry and he was issued a clearance certificate.

The ACE has summoned all three individuals to appear before it on June 26 (Wednesday) while the FIA has issued separate notices to Ashraf and Mittho for June 27 and Mushtaq for June 28.

The anti-corruption agencies have directed the three businessmen to appear with detailed reports of their sources of income and assets. This move comes as part of the ongoing crackdown on financial irregularities and corruption within the business community.
