ISLAMABAD – Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has gone a step further in the enquiry of the SECP Chairman and asked the interior ministry to put his name on ECL.
Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has written to the Interior Ministry to include Chairman of Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) in Exit Control List (ECL) after he was held responsible for tampering of record that was forwarded to Panamagate Joint Investigation Team (JIT).
According to the letter, FIA needs to interrogate SECP chief Zafar Hijazi further which is why he should be banned from leaving the country.
It is further stated that FIA needs to investigate why SECP officials namely Maheen Fatima and Ali Azim were pressurised and by whom to state a bogus date of closure of reference against Chaudhry Sugar Mills.
Reportedly, the interior ministry is likely to take a decision over FIA’s letter very soon.
FIA was earlier tasked by the top court to probe the record tampering allegations of Panamagate Joint Investigation Team (JIT) head Wajid Zia.
