PESHAWAR: Investigators have retrieved Rs1.59 billion in cash, gold, and foreign currency during raids on the homes of key suspects in the Rs40 billion financial scam in Kohistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Senior government officials and contractors are part of the expanding inquiry as investigators step up their efforts to fully expose the corruption, according to The News.
Since it first came to light on April 30, the issue has garnered national attention. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) started official procedures after an audit revealed significant financial violations.
The houses of 12 suspects in one of the biggest financial scams in Pakistani history have reportedly been raided, according to reports. For the time being, their identities are being kept secret to prevent any hindrance to the investigation’s recovery.
