| [GEO.TV] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) President Parvez Elahi has been sent to jail on judicial remand in a money laundering case after the Federal Investigation Authority (FIA) presented him before a local court. The former Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... chief minister was arrested by FIA officials after finally getting bail in a corruption case. On Tuesday, an anti-corruption court ordered the authorities to release Elahi, who had been incarcerated for almost three weeks in a case pertaining to illegal recruitments in the Punjab Assembly, on bail against a surety of Rs1 million. However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... a new case was registered against the PTI president and his son Moonis Elahi on charges of money laundering within hours of the release orders. As Elahi deliberately avoided submitting the surety bond in hopes of a protective bail in the new case from a high court this morning, he remained at the Camp Jail and was eventually apprehended by the FIA officials from the detention centre. The ex-Punjab chief minister was taken into custody by the FIA officials, who got his medical examination done from the Services General Hospital in Lahore. They then presented Elahi before a judicial magistrate after officially arresting him following a medical examination which declared him medically fit. During the hearing, the prosecution sought a 14-day physical remand of the PTI leader. However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... the judicial magistrate rejected the request and sent Elahi to Camp Jail on judicial remand. After this, the FIA officials took him to jail. Elahi and his son Moonis Elahi reportedly invested funds worth billions of rupees in five Panama companies, sources had said while sharing details of the money laundering case. They further said that the duo bought Panama companies via "money laundering." In order to bring Moonis Elahi back home, the FIA has decided to get issued red warrants against him, the sources added. |
