Money laundering case against Ayyan rejected
11
ISLAMABAD: A special court of custom, excise and taxation on Wednesday refused to register a money laundering case against model Ayyan Ali.
Giving decision on an application filed by customs officials, the court said the plea was filed on ‘unreasonable’ grounds.
Special judge of custom court Rana Aftab after hearing the arguments had reserved the verdict for some time and then rejected the petition.
Ayyan is already facing trial before the said court in currency smuggling case.
Ayyan Ali was arrested by the Airport Security Force in March last year at Benazir International Airport along with $506,800 she was allegedly trying to smuggle to United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Another victory for the rich and powerful. As if she has not even done anything. I say, just end this fake drama and let her go. That is what will happen in the end. Too many powerful people involved. Let 'justice' prevail, Pakistani style.

Guess I knew it could happen but had some hope lurking at the back of my mind that her case would expose real big fish. Foolish me.

@Asad Lady Justice is blind because she is impartial. She weighs the merits and demerits on a scale and not bringing in her own prejudice.
This is not Justice, this is a Circus.
