FIA Initiates money laundering investigations against Fazila Abbasi

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has launched two separate investigations against Dr. Fazila Abbasi, sister of actor Hamza Ali Abbasi, over alleged money laundering and operating an unregistered clinic.

The first case, registered under the money laundering provisions, falls under the Commercial Banking Circle, while the second case has been filed with the FIA’s Anti-Corruption Wing. Authorities say there is evidence suggesting suspicious transactions and possible money transfers through hawala channels.

FIA reports indicate that Dr. Abbasi’s 22 bank accounts show a combined turnover of PKR 25 billion, despite her declared annual income being only PKR 400,000 to 600,000. She is also alleged to have transferred funds illegally to the United States and Dubai.

The agency’s action highlights ongoing efforts to scrutinize financial misconduct involving prominent figures in Pakistan.
