ISLAMABAD, July 03 (DNA): Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has issued
a show-cause notice to Ali Tareen, son of estranged PTI leader Jahangi
Tareen, seeking details of investments from his bank accounts during the
sugar scandal probe.

According to sources privy to details, the younger Tareen has been
served notice from the FIA, seeking details of his bank accounts besides
also details regarding any loan acquired by him from family or financial
institutes.

“In case of non-compliance of the FIA notice, the accounts and property
of Ali Tareen would be frozen and confiscated,” it said.

The sources said that besides Ali Tareen, PML-N leader and Opposition
Leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shehbaz has also been served notice in a
similar case.

It is pertinent to mention here that on June 11, a banking court
directed the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to give a seven-day
notice to PTI estranged leader Jahangir Tareen before arresting him in a
fake accounts case.

Additional Sessions Judge Rafat Ali Gondal heard the case as Tareen
turned up before him.

The FIA deputy director informed the court that the agency doesn’t need
to arrest the PTI leader. It will give advance notice to the accused if
such need arises, he added.

At this, Tareen’s lawyer requested the court to direct the FIA to inform
his client at least ten days before arresting him.

After the FIA official’s statement, the lawyer pleaded with the judge to
allow his client to withdraw his bail application. The court disposed of
the bail plea and directed the FIA to give a seven-day notice to Tareen
before taking any action against him. DNA
