LAHORE, March 15: The FIA on Tuesday asked Moonis Elahi to furnish it with details about his assets.
Moonis appeared before the team investigating the National Insurance Company Limited scam on Tuesday. Last week he had visited the FIA office and recorded his statement, but the officials handed him over a questionnaire.The officials on Tuesday reportedly expressed their dissatisfaction over his reply with regard to information about his assets. They asked him to submit “complete details” of his assets on Wednesday.
In his statement last week, Moonis said he had nothing to do with his Rs220 million transaction with Mohsin Warraich, the main accused in the scam. He said the statement against him was extracted from his manager under duress.
FIA sources said the inquiry team head had written to the director general to take stringent security measures on the Lahore High Court premises on March 17 when Moonis would appear before the court to seek extension to his interim bail.
A counsel for Moonis told Dawn the agency was exploring “new avenues” to implicate his client in any other case. “Since his client's manager retracted from his statement (before the court) he was earlier forced by the FIA to give against him, the agency is now desperate to find something else against Moonis,” Advocate Amir Rawn said.
He said his client was following the instructions of the LHC while the FIA was issuing statements related to the NICL case in the media.— Staff Reporter
