Abro warns FBR of laundering probes over unpaid taxes
Senator Saifullah Abro said Pakistan’s tax agency shields graft suspects while a Senate panel reviews unfinished tribal-area exemption recoveries and missing import files.
Senator Saifullah Abro accused the FBR of protecting corrupt interests and flagged possible money-laundering action.
About Rs800bn in unpaid tax and Rs1,120bn in FATA/PATA exemption imports are under review.
Notices went to 512 firms; court petitions and returned mail are slowing the probe.
Possible liabilities and fines sit near Rs400bn–Rs500bn, still subject to verification.
A full brief is due by 9 November 2026 before Peshawar High Court hearings on 12 November.
