ISLAMABAD: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has arrested a most-wanted human trafficker for his involvement in the Libya boat tragedy. Muhammad Suleman was a notorious fugitive listed in the investigation agency’s Red Book.
Acting on the directives of Interior Minister Mohsin Raza Naqvi, the FIA intensified its crackdown on the human trafficking networks.
The operation, led by FIA’s Gujranwala Zone, marks a significant achievement in dismantling human trafficking networks.
Suleman, accused in more than seven cases filed by the Composite Circle Gujrat in 2023 allegedly defrauded his victims of millions of rupees on the pretext of facilitating their travel to Europe.
The suspect reportedly collected Rs2.4 million from each of seven victims. He and his accomplices routed the victims through Egypt and Dubai before keeping them in safe houses in Libya in deplorable conditions. Subsequently, he attempted to send the victims to Italy through a boat that tragically capsized, resulting in the loss of lives.
Using the advanced technology, the FIA arrested Suleman in Gujrat after multiple raids. Investigations are underway, and efforts are being made to apprehend his accomplices involved in human trafficking.
The FIA spokesperson stated that Suleman’s arrest was a pivotal step towards curbing human trafficking and ensuring justice for the victims.
