ISLAMABAD: Super model Ayyan Ali said in her plea for acquittal in Customs Court that she is falsely being indulged in money laundering case.
Sources told Customs Today that in her plea Ayyan Ali said her witnesses including Najeeb Haroon, Mumtaz Hussain and Mohammad Awais are being pressurised to issue different statements.
Customs officials denying all these allegations said that Customs Preventive did not have any authority to file a case so how can they pressurize people who are already in Dubai. Customs authorities said that arrest warrants of these people were issued by Customs Court. They also said that Airport Security Force have a right to arrest persons involved in any illegal activity and hand over them to relevant department.
On the other hand, Ayyan Ali adopted the stance that she was waiting for her brother in departure lounge and she wanted to hand over the amount to her brother. She said that she possessed a valid visa and air ticket for travel to Dubai.
Authorities are also determining the arrival of his brother as there was no flight coming from Islamabad that night. Due to these reasons, her application may be declared invalid.
