Customs officials have received a December 22 deadline to respond to a criminal revision filed by 23-year-old supermodel Ayyan Ali challenging her indictment in a money laundering case. On Tuesday, the supermodel's counsel appearing in the Lahore High Court argued that the trial court had hastily brought charges against his client without deciding on a pending application against the prosecution. He said the defence had never received any documents before the indictment and the prosecution had presented forged ones.
On 14 March, the supermodel was detained at the Islamabad Airport on charges of money laundering: the $500,000 in her suitcase which exceeded the legal limit of cash that can be carried out of the country, which is $10,000.
