NICL Scam: Court issues arrest warrants of Amin Faheem
02 April, 2013
ISLAMABAD: A special provincial anti-corruption court, hearing the case of multi-billion-rupee National Insurance Company scandal, issued on Monday non-bailable arrest warrants of seven accused, including former federal minister for commerce Makhdoom Amin Fahim.
The arrest warrants were issued by the Federal Anti-Corruption Court over the suspects' failure to appear before court. Apart from Makhdoom Amin Fahim, other suspects in the case include former federal commerce secretary Salman Ghani, Qasim Dada, Khalid Anwar and Amin Hussain. The court has directed the Federal Investigation Agency to present before it all six suspects on April 12.
A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry is also hearing the NICL case. In the last hearing on March 5, 2013, the Supreme Court stated that the money trail in the NICL scandal led to the bank account of Mahkdoom Amin Fahim and his family members.
End.
