KARACHI: Federal Tax Ombudsman (FTO) has recommended that an inquiry should be referred to National Accountability Bureau (NAB) into the allegations of corruption and misconduct against Director General Customs Intelligence & Investigation Shaukat Ali as leveled by Syed Aamir Shabbir.
FTO Zaheer uddin Shah heard the petition filed by Syed Aamir Shabbir and gave his ruling. FTO noted that the complainant had submitted substantial evidence and ordered an inquiry be referred to NAB in this regard.
Through application to FTO, Aamir Shabbir sought legal action against Director General Customs Intelligence & Investigation Shaukat Ali.
Syed Aamir Shabbir presented evidence proving corruption and misconduct of Shaukat Ali, which caused huge loss to the national economy.
In his petition, Syed Aamir Shabbir submitted that Shaukat Ali, Director General Customs Intelligence is a BS-21 officer whose crime and corruption are eroding the nation and its economy.
Shaukat Ali is the officer who is politically backed to play havoc with the anti smuggling operations in the country who sits in Islamabad and still sweeps bribe money from smugglers across the country. Shaukat Ali is the one who is a civil servant of Pakistan and still holds a business visa to conduct business in Dubai. He lives in Pakistan and still makes frequent foreign visits to shift the huge corruption money to foreign destinations.
Syed Aamir Shabbir alleged Shaukat Ali stumbled at every promotion and still managed to overcome the obstacles every step of his way to BS-21. He is the custom officer whose misdeeds aroused multiple forums to initiate proceedings and still he managed to kill each inquiry/investigation against his corruption. He is the country wide head of customs anti smuggling operations and still has hired a retired customs sepoy to collect bribe money and to keep its accounts.
