Last year, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) registered a money laundering case against Elahi and others, alleging his involvement in a scam of Rs720 million. Two of Elahi’s close associates, Nawaz Bhatti and Mazhar Iqbal, were arrested by the investigation agency for aiding Elahi in embezzlement.
The case against Elahi was registered under various sections of the Pakistan Penal Code, Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, and Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2010.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
