KARACHI: Arrest warrants have been issued for Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and former commerce minister Makhdoom Amin Fahim besides six others accused in the multi-billion-rupee National Insurance Company Limited (NICL) corruption case.
The arrest warrants were issued by the Federal Anti-Corruption Court over the suspects’ failure to appear before court. Apart from Makhdoom Amin Fahim, other suspects in the case include former federal commerce secretary Salman Ghani, Qasim Dada, Khalid Anwar and Amin Hussain.
The court has directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to present all six suspects on April 12.
A three-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry is also hearing the NICL case.
The SC in its last hearing on March 5, 2013, stated that the money trail in NICL scandal led to the bank account of Mahkdoom Amin Fahim and his family members.
