Ayyan’s acquital plea: Court to announce verdict today

A special customs court in Rawalpindi is set to announce on Friday (today) its verdict on model Ayyan Ali’s acquittal plea in the money laundering case. This verdict would come almost six months after her initial arrest from the airport with an undeclared half-a-million dollars in cash.

Ayyan Ali was arrested from Islamabad’s Benazir Bhutto International Airport on May 14 with USD 500,000 in cash, and was accused of attempting to illegally take this amount outside the country.

After being held in jail for a brief period and then later released on bail, the special customs, taxation and anti-smuggling court is yet to formally indict Ayyan despite her 27 court appearances and almost six months after her initial arrest from the airport.

The court of Rana Aftab Ahmed Khan reserved its judgment on its last hearing on Wednesday and set the date of November 6 to announce the verdict, as lawyers from both sides have completed their arguments.

Ayyan appeared before the court of Rana Aftab Ahmed Khan on Wednesday with her counsel Sardar Latif Khosa, who maintains that her client is innocent.

The defence lawyer argues that no proof of currency smuggling has been found during interrogation and that Ayyan, while carrying the currency, had yet not attained the boarding pass and was going to leave after handing over the money to her brother.

The prosecution strongly opposes the acquittal plea and claims Ayyan was arrested under Section 7 of the Customs Act from the VIP lounge of the airport while she was going to Dubai.

The court was expected to decide the acquittal plea on Wednesday, but Judge Rana Aftab Ahmed reserved the ruling and set a date of November 6 for the announcement of the verdict in the high-profile case being feverishly followed by the Pakistani media due to her celebrity status and alleged political connections.
