ISAF-NATO containers’ scam: Pre-arrest bail granted to clearing agent

Sindh High Court (SHC) on Friday granted pre-arrest bail to a forwarding and clearing agent in a case relating to missing ISAF-NATO containers’ scam. 

ISAF-NATO container scam involved the issue of missing containers that were meant for international forces in Afghanistan under the Afghan Transit Trade agreement, which caused huge loss in evasions and pilferage of duties. It was reported that a number of consignments have not reached the destination.

Applicant’s counsel Aqeel Ahmed told the court that his client was nominated in three references filed by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) relating to missing containers. He said many other co-accused nominated in case had been awarded pre-arrest interim bail by the court, so he may also be granted bail. (DailyTimes)
