KARACHI: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested former MD of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Aijaz Haroon and director HR Hanif Pathan.

Sources said that the arrest of both the officers came after an investigation and they were arrested because of the illegal use of power.

According to sources, former MD PIA Ijaz Haroon and Hanif Pathan are also accused of financial irregularities and illegal recruitment.

Back in 2018, FIA had launched an inquiry against him for committing massive corruption, his involvement in money laundering, and accumulating assets.

National carrier’s employees protested against Aijaz Haroon’s appointment in 2011 and he already stepped down from the post of MD after that.
