Hamza Ali Abbasi has publicly addressed recent reports linking him to a money laundering investigation involving his sister, Dr Fazeela Abbasi. In a statement posted on Instagram on March 28, the actor emphasized that he is not under investigation by any authority and has no involvement in the case.
He described the media coverage as misleading and clarified, “My sister is a highly accomplished professional with her own successful career. She is my family, and I stand by her with love and support during this time. I have full confidence in her integrity and believe her side deserves to be heard.” He further expressed trust that the relevant institutions will ensure justice and that the truth will come to light. Importantly, he stressed that her legal and professional matters are completely separate from him.
In a significant development, Hamza Ali Abbasi also cautioned the media against continuing to associate his name with the case, warning that any further linkage could prompt legal action.
The case against Dr Fazeela Abbasi has been registered by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), which has filed two separate cases. One pertains to alleged money laundering and is lodged with the Commercial Banking Circle, while the other involves the operation of an unregistered clinic and is handled by the Anti-Corruption Wing.
Investigation documents reveal that large sums, including millions in foreign currency, were reportedly transferred abroad through bank accounts not fully declared in tax filings. Authorities have highlighted discrepancies in financial records, such as undeclared transactions and a lack of adequate supporting documentation for certain amounts. The FIA has stated that the explanations provided in response to these concerns were unsatisfactory.
The matter remains under judicial consideration, with no final verdict reached at this time.
