The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)’s self-exiled supremo is set appear before the Metropolitan Police today (Monday) upon the expiry of his bail extension.
Today, Hussain will appear at the police station to find out about his fate – at a time when Pakistan has announced to lodge a money-laundering case against him – it is possible the MQM chief may be charged or that his bail may be extended again.
According to sources, the MQM chief will once again be questioned regarding money laundering allegations. He was first arrested last year in June when a special operation was launched during which officers searched the MQM leaders residence in London for hours and recovered large amounts of cash.
Ahead of his appearance the MQM began writing letters to the British authorities claiming their leader is in danger of being assassinated in London.
It was earlier reported that a PR firm hired by the MQM paid a visit to Karachi to help formulate a reaction in case an unfavourable situation arises in the UK. It was claimed that the letter writing campaign is also being conducted on the advice of the PR firm.
It is believed that the MQM has decided to launch a letter-writing campaign on the advice of the same PR firm and hopes to win concessions from the British authorities.
