The suspect was taken into custody in close proximity to the Directorate’s premises in Karachi. Pressure from the anti-fraud unit of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) compelled the accused to return from abroad. The individual, known as ‘HAB,’ played a central role in using a tax consultancy guise to orchestrate a scheme of fake/flying invoices. He also provided training to others on methods to defraud the national treasury using such invoices.
Before this arrest, a team from I&I-IR Karachi had conducted a search of the suspect’s office in the Ferozabad area, unearthing substantial evidence that substantiated the illicit operation of fake/flying invoices. This operation led by the accused had resulted in a revenue loss of billions of rupees.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
