RAWALPINDI:
The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has submitted to a special anti-terrorism court (ATC) details of former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf’s properties in Pakistan.
The FIA presented these details before the ATC judge Asghar Khan in connection with the Benazir Bhutto murder case. The FIA told the court that its report contained complete details of Musharraf’s assets except for his bank accounts at the Standard Chartered Bank.
The FIA requested the ATC to give it more time to gather this piece of information. The ATC accepted the request and asked the investigation agency to submit the information on March 15.
The court also reprimanded the FIA for withdrawal of money from Musharraf’s frozen bank accounts and directed it to present a report in this regard as well. The court was told that no huge amounts were debited and only bank charges were deducted.
The FIA prosecutor Khawaja Imtiaz told that court that complete asset details of accused should be presented in the court. He said the court had frozen all the national and overseas assets of Pervez Musharraf after declaring him an absconder in the case.
