ISLAMABAD - Business tycoon Malik Riaz, whose name was put on the Exit Control List link (ECL) in light of a report by the joint investigation team (JIT) probing the money laundering case has reportedly left country.
He was given a “one-time special permission” to leave the country, reports have surfaced.
It was earlier reported that Riaz’s name has been placed on the no-fly list and he will not be allowed to leave the country until his name is cleared in numerous corruption cases.
Riaz is among the suspects in the fake bank accounts and money laundering case which has been referred to the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) Rawalpindi office on the Supreme Court’s (SC) orders.
In the past, the government has been accused link of political favoritism for “names of PTI lawmakers are removed from ECL within 24 hours” as evident in the case of Liaqat Jatoi, who belongs to the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government and whose name was put on the list, but was later “traveling with impunity”.
