Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan likely to be arrested in prohibited funding case: Report

Islamabad: Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan is likely to be arrested by the FIA for not appearing before the country’s highest probe agency and not responding to the agency’s notices in an illegal funding case.

According to media reports, the FIA had sent a second notice to Khan on Friday. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had also sent a notice to Khan last Wednesday but he refused to appear before the probe agency’s team, local media reported.

The report quoted highly placed sources in the FIA as saying that a final decision on the arrest of Imran Khan could be taken after issuing three notices.

Five companies linked to the former prime minister’s party have been traced which are operating in the US, Australia, Canada, the UK and Belgium and there was no mention in the reports submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan, the report said.
