KARACHI: Director General of the Directorate General of Internal Audit-Customs Dr Agha Owais Jawwad has told his staff to finalise the report regarding export of gold on fake E-forms, it is learnt here.
Sources informed Customs Today that Dr Jawwad recently held a meeting in which it was decided that final findings in connection with gold scam case would be revealed through a comprehensive report.
The officials had briefed the director general about the gold scam report, sources said, adding that the report would be released soon.
The sources informed Customs Today that an influential “pressure group” is behind the delay in revealing the “gold scam report” on fake Form-E, adding that the FBR is also hesitating to release the report.
Responding to a query, the sources further disclosed that the gold scam report has been prepared by the FBR authorities as well as the authorities concerned of Internal Audit-Customs. However, the process of matching the points of two separate reports is still in pending due to the apathy of authorities concerned.
It is pertinent to mention here that the gold scam case was unearthed two years ago in which the customs authorities found that a massive attempt of export of gold was being made on fake E-Forms in which an estimated of Rs300billions of gold was been exported to other foreign countries on fake E-Forms.
Sources said that customs authorities are taking using all available resources to curb smuggling in the country as it is also damaging our national economy. FBR also directed all concerned department not to spare anyone involved in smuggling.
