FIA again arrests Ch Pervaiz Elahi

Lahore_The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has again arrested former Punjab chief minister and PTI President Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi in a money laundering case,

Pervaiz has been taken into custody from outside the Camp Jail.

The FIA has already registered a case against his third wife Saira Anwar, who, the Agency alleges, has committed corruption of billions of rupees and then laundered the money abroad.

The FIA officials have said that former chief minister will be presented in court today.

Just a day ago, the ex-chief minister was granted bail in the money laundering case.

Earlier in the day, the probe agency arrested Chaudhry Zaman, an alleged frontman of the PTI leader. The suspect was later produced before the judicial magistrate who has approved his four-day physical remand. He is allegedly involved in illegal transactions.

Mr Elahi was arrested after the revelations made by Mr Zaman during interrogation. The FIA further said it had recovered evidence from his mobile phone.
