Money Laundering Probe Against Dr. Fazila Abbasi Intensifies, Joint Account Transactions Under Scrutiny

Islamabad: Investigations into an alleged money laundering case involving TikToker Dr. Fazila Abbasi have intensified, with authorities uncovering significant financial transactions through a joint bank account linked to her family.

According to sources, investigators have found evidence suggesting that Dr. Fazila Abbasi used a joint account held by her mother and her brother, actor Hamza Ali Abbasi, to conduct large-scale financial transfers. The transactions reportedly involved hundreds of thousands of dollars and dirhams sent abroad, allegedly without the knowledge of the Federal Board of Revenue.

Officials from the Federal Investigation Agency stated that the suspect had declared only three bank accounts in her tax returns. During scrutiny, serious irregularities were identified, including failure to provide credible documentation for substantial foreign transfers.

Investigators further revealed that receipts worth $200,000 submitted by the accused were allegedly in the names of her driver and acquaintances, with no verifiable link to her declared financial records. Authorities maintain that, in the absence of solid documentary evidence, the explanations provided cannot be legally accepted.

FIA officials emphasized that the case is strictly based on alleged illegal foreign remittances and concrete evidence of money laundering, regardless of the individual’s profession or declared income. The investigation is ongoing, and further arrests are expected as the probe expands.
