RAWALPINDI: The Customs intelligence has sought permission for registration of a new case of money laundering against supermodel Ayyan Ali, who is already facing a case for smuggling $0.5m currency.
Sources said that Customs intelligence filed a petition against Ayyan during the hearing before the banking court led by Judge Sabir Sultan. The intelligence authorities took the plea that model Ayyan Ali was not involved in an ordinary currency smuggling case as it was case of money laundering involving major gangs.
The ongoing case following the arrest of the model on March 14 was previously said to be a currency smuggling case, which officials have now confirmed as ‘money laundering’. The court has now summoned Ayyan Ali on May 25.
