ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has charged Armaghan, the main suspect in murdering Mustafa Amir, with another hawala hundi and forgery case.

Armaghan had been running a large forgery operation and reportedly earned around $300,000 to $400,000 each month, using cryptocurrency to launder the money and buying luxurious cars with the money.

Investigators discovered that Armaghan operated a call center that targeted American citizens, scamming them out of their money. He had also opened bank accounts in the names of his employees to help perpetrate the fraud.

Armaghan had a team of 25 individuals, making off with at least five victims a day from each of them. Armaghan had established a company in the United States with the help of his father to conduct the hawala/hundi business.

Authorities recovered three luxury cars worth millions of rupees from Armaghan, and reportedly he had sold five more cars. Armaghan denied his involvement and the court rejected the application for a confession.

He claimed the police placed him under “black magic” during his supervision and also said he did not directly kill Mustafa Amir, stating “it was his fate to die, I had a little part”.
