Foreign Ministry Officials Allegedly Collect Rs. 12 Billion from Pakistanis Illegally

A fact-finding report has revealed that officials at the Foreign Ministry allegedly collected around Rs. 12 billion from Pakistani citizens over the course of a year for document verification through illegal means, according to Geo News. The investigation uncovered that Department Grade (DG) officials from various Foreign Ministry departments, a former additional secretary, and ex-diplomats were involved in the scheme.

Furthermore, it was alleged that a private courier company had ties with a Foreign Ministry official regarding the illicit document verification process. Names and statements of the implicated officials have been documented. However, the investigation report was sent to the Foreign Secretary's Office in July, but not forwarded to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) or any other investigative agency, despite the committee's recommendations.

Some officers linked to the case were subsequently posted abroad, despite the findings. The incident was first reported by ProPakistani.
