Ayyan Ali case

Published July 30, 2015

MODEL Ayyan Ali has been granted bail by the Lahore High Court in the money laundering case. The court has observed that the charges by the prosecution have not been established.

It means the investigation has been faulty to produce a weak case which can be thrown out by the court. There are reports of pressure on the Customs authorities. As rightly pointed out in your editorial ‘Bail for Ayyan Ali’ (July 15), the big fish always manage to go scot-free.
