ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has issued final notices to parties for payment of penalty in DP World scam.

It is necessary to mention here that customs authorities issued recovery notices to those persons who already won verdict in their favour by Customs Appellate Tribunal. All these persons already approached the Sindh High Court and the Supreme Court. The courts have already passed their judgments in favor of these persons but despite clear cut instructions from the courts, the customs authorities issued them final notices for tax recovery. All the above mentioned persons have to pay penalty imposed on them except Shakoor Alam.
