Court reserves verdict in Pinky money laundering bail case

KARACHI:

A district and sessions judge on Friday reserved judgment on the bail applications filed by alleged facilitators in the "Cocaine Queen" Anmol alias Pinky case, after hearing arguments from both prosecution and defence.

The applications came up for hearing before the district and sessions court, where counsel for the accused and the investigating officer (IO) presented their respective arguments.

The IO informed the court that the accused, identified as Sohail-ur-Rehman and Zeeshan-ur- Rehman, were allegedly involved in laundering proceeds of crime linked to drug dealer Pinky.

He stated that after Pinky's bank accounts were frozen, financial transactions were allegedly routed through Samir with the help of the accused. The IO further alleged that Sohail and Zeeshan used accounts linked to Samir for purchasing properties, while payments for narcotics raw material were also made through these accounts.
