一 | Islamabad, Oct 11 (UNI) The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Tuesday booked PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the prohibited funding case as the anti-corruption watchdog ramps up the investigation into the matter, media reports said.
The first information report (FIR) registered against the former prime minister has been lodged at the FIA's banking circle police station.
In the FIR, the federal agency alleged the Abraaj Group transferred $2100,000 to the PTI account in the branch of a bank situated at Jinnah Avenue in Islamabad, according to Geo news reports.
Abraaj Group was a private equity firm, operating on six continents, which is currently in liquidation due to accusations of fraud.
In addition, the party received more financing from two bank accounts of Wotan Cricket Club, read the FIR.
The FIA said the manager of the private bank helped the agency in its probe into the questionable transactions.
Besides Khan, Sardar Azhar Tariq, Tariq Shafi, and Younis Aamir Kiani have also been nominated in the FIR.
The FIA said the affidavit submitted to the ECP by businessman Arif Naqvi was also false.
On October 10, a district court in Lahore sent PTI leader Hamid Zaman on a 14-day judicial remand in the prohibited funding case.
The FIA had registered a case against Zaman, a trustee of the Insaf Trust, over prohibited party funding.
On August 22, 2022, the ECP, in a unanimous verdict, announced that the PTI received prohibited funding. The case was earlier referred to as the "foreign funding" case, but later the election commission accepted the PTI's plea to refer to it as the "prohibited funding" case.
The commission found that donations were taken from America, Australia, Canada and the UAE.
PTI received funds from 34 individuals and 351 businesses including companies, the ECP verdict stated.
Thirteen unknown accounts also came to light, said the commission in the verdict, adding that hiding accounts are a "violation" of Article 17 of the Constitution.
The funds were also in violation of Article 6 of the Political Parties Act.
