Pakis Complain That Scotland Yard Did Not Seriously Pursue The So-Called Money Laundering Case Against Altaf Bhai !
Scotland Yard passes incomplete money-laundering case
LONDON: Scotland Yard has passed incomplete case file to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for the charging decision on Muttahida Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)-related money laundering investigation giving birth to questions about the very future of the whole investigation.This correspondent has learned from credible sources that the police file was passed to the CPS despite the fact that Counter-terrorism Command Uunit, responsible for investigating the money-laundering case, was aware that the “case file” at the stage of submission to the CPS, around a month ago, was incomplete because of the fact that several people refused to cooperate with the police in its investigations and the police didn’t pursue the suspects rigorously as it routinely does where it wills to do so.
Scotland Yard is not going to be embroiled in Pakistan's political circus and start a witch hunt against an almost dying person
This correspondent has seen evidence first hand as how the police failed to investigate various suspects vigorously. A UK-based businessman is one such example whose name was found on a cash bundle found at the house of Altaf Hussain during June 2013 raid. Further inquiries revealed that the businessman had made payments into account of a political leader. In one instance £1,000 were paid.The businessman told the police that the political leader asked him to do so. The police asked the businessman to produce bank statements to prove that he was not involved in moving large sums of cash around but since then the businessman has not cooperated with the police and no action has been taken against him.

It can be disclosed for the first time that at least four businessmen, linked with the MQM, were sent letters by the Scotland Yard to reach London and appear before the police in relation to their own part in facilitating large payments to the MQM from Pakistan, Dubai and Canada. Names of these Pakistani businessmen figure in the bank statements and paper trail available with the investigators at the Scotland Yard. Some of the people sought by Scotland Yard for interviews enjoy influential positions in Pakistan but their names at this stage cannot be disclosed due to sensitive reasons.

The Scotland Yard investigators didn’t pursue the people vigorously and didn’t seek help of Pakistani authorities under the mutual legal assistance formula and showed half-heartedness. The police could have warned the relevant businessmen of consequences of “preventing the course of justice under the British laws” and could have easily gained help from Pakistan, Dubai and Canada but no appetite was shown on part of the police.
Scotland yard, with its reputation to protect cannot be seen to be a tool in collusion with the corrupt Paki police where all kinds of third degree methods are used to extract confessions from innocent persons!
When asked that the police could have taken a serious interest in interviewing the people to whom the trail of money goes to and who have been involved in vast suspicious transactions, the police spokesman said: “Witnesses that chose to come forward and give evidence to police as part of an investigation do so of their own volition and sense of duty.”
The police spokesman said that a case file with all of the available evidence has now been submitted to the CPS for a decision to be made as to whether there is sufficient to support a prosecution “at this time”.
Geo News contacted the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and sought its opinion on a “file case” which is incomplete, especially when some important witnesses have refused to be interviewed by the police and the police unwillingness to go after the important witnesses diligently, the spokeswoman said: “We can only consider a charging decision once we have received a full file from the police.”
Scotland Yard
cannot be bribed !!!
