Web Desk — Hareem Shah, a social media celebrity who claims to be involved in money laundering, is now under investigation by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
“The FIA has initiated an inquiry against Hareem Shah over money laundering,” said a spokesperson for the Sindh FIA. “The FIA has decided to write a letter to the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency to take action against Hareem Shah whose real name is Fiza Husain.”
FIA initiated action following the release of a video on social media in which Ms. Shah claimed to have transferred a large sum of money to the UK.

“We are obtaining the woman’s visa, immigration documents, and travel documents,” the spokesperson said.
Hareem Shah travelled from Karachi airport to Doha in Qatar on Jan 10.
She posted a video on social media showing a large amount of cash in her hands. In the video, she says she brought a large sum of money to the UK and nothing happened to her because in Pakistan the law only applies to the poor.
A spokesperson for the FIA said that money laundering involves the transfer of currency through illegal means. “The FIA has also requested details from customs and the Airport Security Force.”
Hareem Shah has often been in news headlines for her controversial acts. Hareem Shah’s video with Interior Minister Sh Rasheed also brought immense criticism.
