The FIA has taken action in a money laundering case by freezing the accounts and attaching properties belonging to Moonis Elahi.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has taken significant measures in the money laundering case involving former federal minister Moonis Elahi. The agency has frozen his bank accounts and attached properties, as outlined in a compliance report submitted to the special court.

Moonis Elahi, facing investigation for alleged money laundering, had eight bank accounts and six immovable properties frozen based on the central judge's explicit directive in a prior hearing. These actions initiated proclamation proceedings against Moonis, with the judge stating that failure to appear within 30 days would result in his declaration as a proclaimed offender.

FIA documents indicate that Moonis utilized these bank accounts for alleged money laundering activities, involving substantial deposits and withdrawals. The report highlights withdrawals totaling Rs487.6 million from these accounts by Moonis.

In response to his reported unavailability at residences in Barcelona, Spain, and Lahore, non-bailable arrest warrants had been issued against Moonis in previous proceedings. The FIA, during subsequent proceedings, submitted an application for the attachment of Moonis's properties, emphasizing eight bank accounts and six immovable properties.

Simultaneously, the FIA Director Lahore was entrusted with submitting a compliance report, underscoring the commitment to a thorough and transparent legal process in the ongoing investigation against Moonis Elahi, who is presently declared an absconder.
