LAHORE:
The central figure of NICL scam case, Mohsin Habib Warraich, has decided to return to Pakistan from London next month and appear in front of the court, Express News reported on Saturday.
According to Federal Investigating Agency (FIA) sources, following Supreme Court orders FIA officials made contact with him. He agreed to return on the condition that he would not be arrested and an investigation will be carried out according to the statements he would record.
On the other hand, FIA sources also said that since Mohsin Waraich’s father, Habibullah Warraich, was a close friend of former President Pervez Musharraf, hence this is a trick played by the latter to get proofs against Moonis Elahi of Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) and Pakistan People's Party (PPP) president Makhdoom Amin Fahim and get them disqualified from contesting the upcoming general elections.
However, FIA sources further added that they will focus on the NICL case investigations and will act according to Supreme Court’s orders.
Accused Habibullah Warraich, Akram Warraich and Mohsin Habib Warraich allegedly owe Rs420 million collectively to the NICL. Rather than paying in cash, they provided 10 cheques to the NICL worth Rs42 million each. One of these cheques bounced. Following this Mohsin Warraich had fled to London.
