Pakistan Army arrested three former officers in corruption case
Pakistani Army arrested three former officers in corruption case. The Pakistani Army arrested three more retired high-ranking officers, following the earlier detention of former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Faiz Hameed, who faces charges of corruption and abuse of power.
The arrests of three retired officers were related to the ongoing proceedings against Hameed. Investigations are ongoing into other retired officers and their associates for allegedly inciting instability in collaboration with vested political interests.
Faiz Hameed is accused of “actions prejudicial to military discipline.” The military also reported “multiple instances of violation of the Pakistan Army Act” by Hameed after his retirement, which have been substantiated against him. ISPR
The former spy chief is facing a court martial on charges of corruption and power abuse. Faiz Hameed’s court martial comes in the wake of a Supreme Court-ordered inquiry into a complaint by a real estate developer, who accused the former ISI chief of abusing his position to unlawfully seize control of his housing project on the outskirts of Islamabad.
