Islamabad: Pakistani authorities have summoned Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s son Ali Musa to appear for questioning on May 12 in connection with an investigation into alleged irregularities in the import of a large amount of the controlled drug Ephedrine.
Ali Musa had recorded his statement with investigators from the Anti-Narcotics Force on April 26 in Rawalpindi and denied the allegations against him.
The ANF investigation team has summoned him again on May 12, media reports said. The premier’s son cut short his honeymoon in South Africa and returned to Pakistan after being named as an accused in the case by the ANF.
Ali Musa has told investigators that he does not know Tauqeer Ali Khan, an accused who introduced himself to ANF officials as the premier’s son’s personal secretary. He has denied allegations that he influenced officials of the Health Ministry to allocate Ephedrine quotas of 9,000 kg to two pharmaceutical companies. (PTI)
