  "account": "The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Islamabad has launched an investigation against eight Pakistanis deported from Turkey for allegedly breaching immigration laws. The FIA registered a case against the deportees, who had entered Turkey on work visas but allegedly began working illegally in other capacities instead of joining the companies they were meant to work for. Turkish authorities arrested the individuals, detained them in prison, and subsequently deported them back to Pakistan. The investigation will be conducted under Sections 3 and 4 of the Passport Act, 1974. The FIA's Islamabad Zone emphasized its commitment to ongoing action against those involved in human smuggling and immigration law violations.\n\nIn a related development, the FIA Anti-Human Trafficking Circle in Rawalpindi recovered Rs3.8 million allegedly defrauded from a citizen under the pretext of offering a work permit in Portugal. According to the FIA, the complainant, Wajid Hussain, had paid €12,000 (approximately Rs3.8 million) to the suspect, promising employment and a work permit in Portugal. However, the suspect failed to deliver on his commitment. The FIA recovered the full amount during its investigation and returned it to the complainant. The inquiry was carried out under the supervision of Sub-Inspector Ansa Tayyaba, who oversaw both legal and departmental proceedings. The FIA reiterated its resolve to take swift action against visa agents and individuals involved in human smuggling, as directed by Islamabad Zone Director Syed Shehzad Nadeem Bokhari.",
