Faryal Talpur, a leader of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), on Saturday has sought more time for appearance before joint investigation team (JIT) of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) formed to probe a money-laundering case. On behalf of Talpur, her attorney appeared before the FIA's Zonal Directorate to seek more time for her to appear before the investigation agency, pleading that she is busy in seeking interim bail from banking court.
FIA is probing more than thirty persons in a case of money-laundering in which transactions were made from dubious accounts. Faryal and his brother Asif Ali Zardari are also included in the list of people who FIA is investigating in said case.
The counsel for Faryal submitted that his client has been declared absconder, illegally in an interim challan. He pleaded she should be given a new date for appearance before JIT. Previously, FIA also had declared Zardari as absconder in the case.
It was for the second time she didn't appear since she was summoned along with Asif Zardari to appear before FIA on July 11, 2018.
The written replies submitted by Zardari and Faryal mentioned that the transactions on which they were summoned were made in 2014, whose record is not available at the moment.
Meanwhile, Faryal Talpur submitted a bail bond worth Rs 2 million in a banking court on Saturday to seek a pre-arrest interim bail till August 06, 2018. Previously, Faryal Talpur obtained a six-day protective bail from Sindh High Court's Larkana bench.
