Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has admitted that some of its officials in connivance with the employees of national carrier PIA have been involved in a human smuggling ring that also worked in Europe, according to media report on Thursday.
A report forwarded by the FIA director general to the interior ministry and the Establishment Division on Wednesday highlighted that human smuggling investigation was carried out on a complaint by the British High Commission in 2014, the Dawn reported.
The paper quoting its sources in the Interior Ministry, said the report dated January 1, 2019, was received by the ministry on Wednesday and it "clearly blamed the Anti-Human Trafficking Cell of FIA for not taking any action over the complaint."
