Officials of the Cyber Crime Circle of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) claimed today to have apprehended an internationally “most wanted” suspect, Noor Aziz Uddin.
The accused was arrested during a pre-dawn raid conducted by FIA officials at his residence located at Federal B Area, Karachi.
Aziz Uddin’s two sons, Osama Noor and Omair Noor, his relative Faisal Aziz and his companion Arshad Farhan were also reportedly detained during the raid led by Cybercrime Circle deputy director Mir Mazhar Jabbar.
The suspects were later shifted to undisclosed locations for further investigation.
FIA officials claimed that the accused Noor Aziz Uddin was also wanted by the Federal Bureau Investigations (FBI) and his name was also placed on the FBI’s most wanted list.
According to the FBI’s most wanted list, Noor Aziz Uddin was accused of being involved in a conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to gain unauthorised access to computers, wire fraud, unauthorised access to computers and identity theft.
The FBI also offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of Noor Aziz Uddin, according to the agency’s website.
The website further stated that Noor Aziz Uddin is wanted for his alleged involvement in an international telecommunications scheme that defrauded unsuspecting individuals, companies, and government entities, to include large telecom companies, in both the United States and abroad.
Between November of 2008 and April of 2012, Noor Aziz Uddin allegedly compromised computer systems and conducted a scheme which ultimately defrauded victims of amounts in excess of $50 million.
The international scheme involved members of a criminal organisation that extended into Pakistan, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Spain, Singapore, Italy, and Malaysia, among other nations.
I knew them personally, both of them are innocent and cleared by Malaysian court in July 2012, they were also cleared by FIA in 2012. Their rearrest in 2015 was made on personal grievance by an officer as they have refused to provide money demanded by one corrupt officer the in charge of this activity. However after refusal from them, he presented / portrayed them like an evil in front of media. If some should inquire about their status, he may get information about the team who arrested them? Where are they now? Jesa dikhta hai wesa hota naheen hai. Mujhey afsoos hai appney reputable media pay kay woh bagheer kissi tasdeeq kay bari bari khabrain laga deta hai jo kay 100% jhoot par mabni hoti hain. Jald logo ko sach pata chal jaey ga kay in becharoo ka yeh haal kiyoon hoa or kiss nay kiya sirf chand takoo ki khatir. in ko bhi badnaam kiya or Pakistan ko bhi. This has not happened upon FBI request, this all happened by fake query generated by an individual who continuously threatening, blackmailing both of them and their families too for the sake of amount demanding by him and his team. Money man Mir Mazhar Jabbar is the writter/producer of this fabricated story by his own after refusal of his demand of huge amount.
