A two-member team of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) returned from London on Thursday without recording the statements of Ali Asad, the central character in the passport scam, reported Express News.
According to the Interior ministry, the team has submitted a report regarding the scandal, in which it said that it was unable to record Asad’s statements.
The team also said that several meetings were held to assist British officials in locating Asad and arrest him, but they did not work out either.
Sources say that the investigation into the scandal may need more time to complete.
Moreover, there has been no progress on the letter written to Interpol by the Interior ministry for Asad’s arrest.
The visa scam surfaced after British tabloid The Sun published a report on fake travel documents for London, in connection with Pakistan’s Olympic squad. However, an investigation conducted by the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) dismissed the claims, calling the report a scam.

So un-professional.Why did they go in first place.I feel that tax payers money was wasted
He shold be banned for life from entering to Pakistan! if he ever enter into Pakistan, he should be made example of cheating before leaving the Pakistan.... and it's wake up call for NADRA not to trust anyone blindly, investigate thoroughly before issuing any document.
So back after a fun filled vacation from UK then?
Waste of money as you knew you had no authority to interview let alone arrest anyone inside the UK. Hows that Sun lawsuit coming along? BTW - How's that Abbottabad investigation coming and what ever happened to the Presidential mandated investigation of the blasphemy case against the Christian child with down syndrome.
