The Anti-Corruption Department has arrested the main suspect involved in the Legend Trust fraud scheme during an operation in Karachi West.
According to Director General Anti-Corruption Imtiaz Abro, the arrested suspect, identified as Naimatullah, falsely presented himself as an authorized representative of Legend Trust. Using fraudulent methods, he obtained the trust’s official checkbook.
With the assistance of accomplices, the suspect illegally encashed multiple checks in his own name, causing a financial loss of approximately Rs25 million.
Authorities said the total corruption allegations linked to the case amount to nearly Rs58 million. The Anti-Corruption Department has launched further investigations to trace other individuals involved in the scam and to recover the misappropriated funds.
Officials stated that action would continue against all those found responsible, adding that no leniency would be shown in cases involving public trust and financial fraud.
