The Mustafa murder case has taken a significant turn as new evidence reveals the accused, Armaghan, was running an illegal hawala-hundi (underground money transfer) operation. Following this discovery, the government has registered a case against him in the Anti-Money Laundering Circle.

Illegal Operations & Digital Fraud

According to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Armaghan was engaged in hawala-hundi, digital currency transactions, and other fraudulent activities.

As per the FIR, he reportedly earned $300,000 to $400,000 per month through scams, which he then converted into digital currency. Several vehicles in his possession were also acquired using these illegal funds.

The investigation further uncovered that Armaghan had opened bank accounts under his employees’ names and operated a fraudulent call center targeting U.S. citizens. His team extracted sensitive information through calls and used it for financial fraud.

The FIR states that each call center operator scammed at least five people daily, with all proceeds ultimately reaching Armaghan. His illegal operation, established in 2018, functioned as a well-organized fraud network.
