PESHAWAR: Demonstrating commendable leadership and dedication, Muhammad Afzal Khan Niazi, Deputy Director of the Federal Investigation Agency’s Commercial Banking Circle (CBC) Peshawar, alongside his team, carried out a successful joint operation with Peshawar Police to apprehend a suspect involved in illegal money laundering and currency exchange.
This operation is one among many in the series of brave and successful actions taken under Niazi’s leadership, further cementing his reputation for upholding law and order and combating financial crimes.
The suspect, identified as Mohibullah, was apprehended from the Chamkani area of Peshawar with an illegal possession of 40.5 million rupees. He was unable to provide a legal explanation for the seized currency and was found to be in possession of hawala receipts, suggesting his involvement in the illicit financial activity.
