FIA finds software house involved in crimes

KARACHI: An FIR was filed against Digitonics, a Karachi-based software house by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).

The software house was accused of forgery, money laundering, cheating and a number of other crimes.

It was mentioned in the FIR that the crime had been committed between 2015 and 2021.

The FIA launched an inquiry after receiving a source report on international scammers operating in Pakistan from the Islamabad Cyber Crime Wing.

The report identified scams operating throughout the country and mentioned the owner of Digitonics Labs Pvt Ltd, Junaid Mansoor, CEO Burhan Mirza, business unit head Umair Siddique and others as offenders.

Earlier this week the FIA conducted two raids: one at the software house’s office located on Karachi’s Sharae Faisal; another at CEO Mirza’s house. The FIA team took the company’s record and electronic items (computers and laptops) for further investigation.

During the raid, the FIA team sealed the company’s office and interrogated the staffers while recording the statements of eight people.
