The Federal Investigation Agency has intensified its probe into a multi-billion rupee money laundering case involving Dr Fazeela Abbasi, the sister of prominent Pakistani actor Hamza Ali Abbasi.
According to the First Information Report, investigators have identified approximately 22 bank accounts linked to Dr Abbasi that show a staggering cumulative turnover of roughly 25 billion rupees.
The legal battle has seen several turns in recent weeks. While the Islamabad High Court had previously closed an earlier case against her, the FIA successfully filed an appeal to reopen the second case. In a recent verdict, the court noted that there was apparent evidence of financial misconduct that required a thorough and fair investigation. The current probe aims to identify the exact source of the billions deposited in these accounts and trace the final destination of the funds sent abroad.
As a member of a high-profile family in Pakistan’s entertainment and medical circles, the case has attracted intense public and media scrutiny. The Abbasi family has traditionally maintained a respected public image, making these billion-rupee allegations particularly shocking to the elite social circles of Islamabad and beyond. Authorities have reiterated that the investigation is being pursued strictly in compliance with the law as they seek to uncover the full extent of the alleged international money trail.
