The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has submitted a report to the Special Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Karachi, disclosing critical evidence found on the laptop of Armaghan, the prime suspect in the Mustafa Amir murder case. The data connects him to an international fraud ring.
As part of the broader investigation, the FIA has uncovered Armaghan’s alleged involvement in multiple criminal enterprises, including money laundering, cryptocurrency-related scams, and fraud targeting American citizens.

The agency’s report, submitted on Monday, also highlights the role of Armaghan and his father, Kamran Qureshi, in running a company believed to be at the center of these illegal activities. The company, which reportedly generated $300,000 to $400,000 annually, employed around 25 agents who carried out fraudulent operations globally. According to sources, Armaghan also used an employee named Afnan to purchase luxury cars worth Rs 154 million using proceeds from the scam.
Further investigations reveal that Armaghan had previously operated a call center involved in defrauding U.S. citizens by stealing personal information and conducting unauthorized financial transactions. This has led to multiple legal cases being registered against him under the FIA’s Anti-Money Laundering Circle.
Although Kamran Qureshi has been linked to the fraudulent business, he has neither been listed as an accused nor included as a witness, raising concerns about his possible role in the operations.
The FIA has also approached Interpol to issue a Silver Notice for Armaghan in an effort to trace and seize his international assets, including bank accounts in up to 193 countries. If successful, this could lead to the recovery of significant funds back to Pakistan.
Armaghan remains in FIA custody under remand for four different cases involving financial crimes. He is scheduled to appear in court again tomorrow, as authorities continue to pursue more evidence of his global criminal activities.
