We are not talking about accounts, but large amount of cash found at residence of Altaf Hussain. Again many people keep cash at home, so how do you prove money laundering?
I think its more a case of accuse not being able to prove that the money was transferred legally and all applicable taxes were paid. So accuse has to justify that he received/transferred the amount legally(through bank records and custom declarations at the time of arrival in the country or legal sources of income declared in tax returns). my 2 cents.
 
I told you how you prove money laundering ...1 sign is accounts that you own and dont declare so you get to evict taxation...

Money laundering is the process whereby the proceeds of crime are transformed into ostensibly legitimate money or other assets. However in a number of legal and regulatory system the term money laundering has become conflated with other forms of financial crime, and sometimes used more generally to include misuse of the financial system, including terrorism financing, tax evasion and evading of international sanctions.


I dont know about exaggerating...UK police is not releasing details....But it is creating a hype making idiots to destroy Pakistan...wonder if anyone thought of deploying some extra security measures for Karachi?!
As far as i know, tax evasion or tax fraud, is a different play, and doea not fall into money laundering, money laundering is turning my black money into legit white money... Like 3 yrs back an SSP from one of Punjab district asked me to assist him in buying him a house in London from the cash (3crore) he had in Pakistan..... :D
 
Here is my take on the news

MQM held emergency meeting, held a press conference claiming Altaf Hussain has not been arrested. The point to note is Altaf Hussain is most popular politician over the Telephonic conferences. He could take his ever charged phone and call back to MQM leadership or the Media. They could arrange telephonic conference to confirm he was not arrested.

But MQM could not do that and rather gave general statement to prolong the matter. I somewhat is now convinced that he has been arrested
 
Yeah ... just like Sunny Leon is virgin :lol:

lol dude, you watch too much ****, keep control

If his declared source of income is not the same as his "actual" source then that can be considered a crime @janz

Shootings have been reported from some parts of the city, which BBC correspondents say is tense.
