The FIA started an investigation into the party funds in August 2022 after ECP announced the verdict that the PTI had received illegal funds against its rule A.   

A three-member bench of the ECP issued a show-cause notice to Khan’s party a couple of weeks ago for receiving prohibited funding from foreign nationals and foreign-based companies and keeping it under wraps. Even, FIA Banking Circle repeatedly asked the PTI chief to provide details of the bank accounts but Khan, responding through his legal counsel, said he was neither answerable to the FIA nor could it compel him to provide any information. 

Meanwhile, the FIA has traced five companies related to Imran Khan’s party that was operating in the US, Australia, Canada, Britain and Belgium and they were not mentioned in the reports submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

Subsequently, the FIA has sought permission from the federal Interior Ministry to register the case under sections 420, 406, 468, and 471A of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) against Imran and other members of PTI.
