The FIA's anti-money laundering circle booked Pervaiz Elahi and his son, Moonis Elahi, on charges of money laundering, shortly after the anti-corruption court accepted his bail in a separate case related to illegal recruitment in the Punjab Assembly.


Lahore: A local court in Lahore ordered the judicial remand of Pervaiz Elahi, the President of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Punjab Chief Minister, in a money laundering case. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) presented Pervaiz Elahi before the court after arresting him earlier in the day from the camp jail in Lahore.
The court rejected the FIA's request for physical remand and instead sent Pervaiz Elahi to jail on judicial remand.
On Tuesday, shortly after the anti-corruption court accepted his bail in a separate case related to illegal recruitment in the Punjab Assembly, the FIA's anti-money laundering circle booked Pervaiz Elahi and his son, Moonis Elahi, on charges of money laundering.
According to sources familiar with the case, both individuals are accused of concealing significant amounts of money through five Panamanian companies.
Pervaiz Elahi was granted bail by the anti-corruption court in Lahore against surety bonds worth Rs1 million. Special Judge Ali Raza Awan presided over the hearing and the Special Prosecutor Abdul Samad opposed Elahi's bail, arguing his direct involvement in the case.
Regarding the illegal recruitment case, an ACE spokesperson revealed that Pervaiz Elahi had made 12 illegal recruitments in the Punjab Assembly for Grade 17 positions. The recruitment was conducted by tampering with the records and utilizing fake testing services, as stated by the spokesperson.
