According to investigators, the accused’s cousin used to send all the money to the Cryptoconnery account of Armagne. He added that the accused used to buy cryptocurrency from the money earned from the sources of fraud.
Earlier, details about Armaghan’s illegal activities were revealed through which the revelations of merchant accounts were operating through it. According to investigations sources, the accounts were used to transfer the money through fraud and scams.
Sources added that Irmagan used the money to convert the amount through the scam into a digital currency and has turned millions of dollars into digital currency since 2017.
Investigative sources said that the amount received by counterfeiting was transferred directly to the digital ATM, investigating sources said it was impossible to obtain evidence of the amount converted into digital currency.
The suspect – who closed all his accounts – made various virtual cards using digital currency, which may be used to withdraw money from ATMs.
Earlier this month, during a raid at his residence at DHA in Karachi, Armaghan fired a special unit of Karachi police responsible for dealing with murder and extortion cases, which was a special unit of Karachi police.
The body of the deceased – was found in a car near the Hub Check Post on January 12 and was buried by the EDHI Foundation on January 16 – later it was evacuated and after a preliminary report of DNA’s initial profiling, it was confirmed that he was confirmed.
Armagan’s physical remand has increased
One day ago, the Anti -Terrorism Court (ATC) extended the physical remand of another suspect, Shiraz Bukhari, and another accused for five days for five days.
This is the second extension-the first was awarded on February 22-the first four-day physical remand of Ramgan was allowed on February 18.
During the hearing, the prosecution urged the court to extend the remand, while the investigating officer told the court that the girl allegedly tortured by the suspects was located, and that her statement needed to be recorded.
The statements of witnesses will also be documents under Section 164 of the CRPC.
Armaghan’s lawyer opposed the request for a police extension. The suspect told the court that he was being subjected to inhumane treatment, denied food, and was not allowed to access Rome for ten days.
However, the court declared these claims unrealistic. The judge remarked, “If a person is not allowed to go to the washroom for 10 days, no one can stand.”
Defense further demanded a notification before recording statements and demanded medical examination of the suspect. Prosecutors confronted that the case had caused nationwide anger, and that the suspect was being investigated for possible links to money laundering and drug trafficking.
In addition, the Investigation Officer (IO) informed the court that a police have given a joint investigation team (JIT) in connection with a lot of talks with the leading investigation body of the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Makadas Haider.
After consideration, the court allowed Armaghan’s parents to meet him, but warned that any defect should be reported immediately during the meeting.
