FIA Adds Two Suspects in PTI Funding Case as Court Sets March 5 Charge-Sheet Deadline

The investigation builds on a 2022 ECP ruling that found PTI accepted prohibited foreign funds.

Overview

Islamabad Banking Court summoned PTI Chief Finance Officer Siraj Ahmed and private bank employee Faisal Qazi after the FIA expanded its probe.
Judge Abdul Ghafoor Kakar granted both men interim bail until March 5 and fixed the next hearing for that date.
Special Prosecutor Wasiq Malik told the court a partial charge sheet is already on record and the FIA will now file a complete one rather than a supplementary filing.
Malik requested 10 to 15 days to submit the revised charge sheet, matching the court’s March 5 deadline.
The ECP’s 2022 verdict cited $2.12 million from Wootton Cricket Limited and other foreign-registered donors as prohibited, a characterization PTI disputes as it calls the funds diaspora donations.
