ISLAMABAD: Following the direction of Supreme Court, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has formed a four-member committee to probe the allegations levelled by JIT against Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) for records tampering.
The team headed by FIA’s Anti Corruption Wing Director Maqsoodul Hassan comprising FIA officers Ayaz Mehmood, Tahir Tanveer and Farooq Latif will investigate the matter.
Earlier, the JIT revealed before the implementing bench that SECP Chairman Zafarul Haq Hijazi “was instrumental in closing the investigation of a money laundering case launched against Chaudhry Sugar Mills Limited”, which is possessed by the Sharif family, in 2016.
On June 19, the bench ordered the Federal Investigation Agency director general to probe charges against the Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) chairman that he tampered records related to the Sharif family money trail.
