Javed was one of the directors of money exchange firm Khanani and Kalia International, and was held by FIA in 2014 on charges of transferring foreign currency worth Rs140 million out of Pakistan.
The incident came less than a month after Javed’s brother Altaf Khanani pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering before a US court and was awarded 20-year imprisonment with a fine of $250,000.
Before being implicated, Khanani and Kalia was one of the largest currency exchange companies in the country, founded in 1983 by Hanif Kalia.
