FIA Investigators claimed to have found more evidence, including bank transactions against former minister and prime suspect Hamid Saeed Kazmi.
Considering the the serious nature of the collected evidence and financial irregularities, FIA Director Hussain Asghar requested for Kasmi's non-bailable arrest.
Earlier, Kazmi, was accused of corruption during the course of renting residential buildings for Pakistani pilgrims in Saudi Arabia and inflicting a loss of billions of rupees to the national exchequer. A case was registered against him and he was arrested on March 15, 2011. A Rawalpindi court granted him bail on August 27, 2012.
In previous hearings, Pakistan Muslim League-N MNA Imran Ahmed Shah also alleged that Abdul Qadir Gilani, the son of former Prime Minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, “smuggled” a bulletproof Land Cruiser from Dubai in 2009 as part of the financial irregularities involved in the scam.
Qadir Gilani however, refused to cooperate with the agency and investigators.
The court has adjourned the hearing of this case till March 14.

@Mahmood what i am trying to say investigating officer (Hussain Asghar) needs to be changed if courts hope to recover money or else Hamid Saeed Kazmi will be out again contesting next election.
@f - your logic is flawed. Every infraction of the law needs to face some form of justice. What you said is like saying that there's no point in charging a murderer because the penalty won't bring back the murdered to life.
His father was a very respectable person. To save his family name, he will become approver.
he was already in jail and this officer (Hussain Asghar) has been in-charge of this case from it beginning , still no money is recovered whats the point to put him back in jail when officer in-charge doesn't recover a rupee. Billion of rupees looted and officer investigating wasting courts time and taxpayers money. Doing same thing over and over again to fool courts and people.
