In Islamabad, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has come under scrutiny for its underwhelming performance in tackling money laundering. The Additional Director General has ordered a comprehensive review of records following the failure of investigative officers to secure the necessary recoveries, leaving hundreds of cases pending.

All FIA zones have been instructed to submit detailed reports on their anti-money laundering actions taken in 2024. This includes information on freezing cases, asset seizures, and overall progress. Each zone must also provide specifics on the details of cases, frozen assets, and recovery efforts.

Additionally, officers who have not reported recoveries to the evidence repository must submit explanations. The directives emphasize that inquiries and case reports should be submitted separately, along with distinct reports on seized evidence and other frozen assets.
