The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested Iftikhar Rasool Ghumman, who is security in-charge of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan, in a "money laundering" case.
The Anti-Money Laundering Cell (AMLC) of the organization discovered a Lahore-based, internally active money-laundering ring and detained two of its members, according to the Federal Investigation Agency.
Ghumman, Qaisar Mushtaq, and Asim Hussain allegedly operated a fictitious international money-laundering network, according to Federal Investigation Agency officials.
They claimed that the entire network had been uncovered and that those involved in Hundi and Hawala money laundering had been apprehended. They also claimed that the scam was responsible for the unlawful transfer of billions of rupees to various countries.
It was also mentioned that the scam used more than 40 fictitious businesses to transfer money to other countries.
Rejecting the Federal Investigation Agency’s accusations, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) sources claimed that Ghumman was a trustworthy party leader who was in charge of well-established multinational businesses in many countries and who had the authority to handle imports and exports on the party's behalf.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan condemned the detention and claimed that persons close to him were being followed, kidnapped, and tortured.
In his tweets, Imran Khan said: "When Ali Amin was abducted, the DPO told sessions judge in DIK [Dera Ismail Khan] that he would take a contempt charge but had to take custody of Ali Amin as orders came from above.

"Today, my security in-charge Iftikhar Ghumman has been abducted. This is all part of the London Plan, where Nawaz Sharif was given assurances that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf would be crushed."
"So now people close to me, along with my leadership, are being harassed, abducted, tortured, and confronted with sham cases across Pakistan in total violation of the Constitution and rule of law," Imran Khan added.
