ISI using Pak crime syndicates to push agenda, says watchdog report

According to a report by Global Watch Analysis, Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI has been using crime syndicates located in countries such as France and Thailand to further its agenda.
 

Police in Thailand had just recently arrested a man named Baqar Shah for being involved in several crimes, including those such as money laundering for the ISI.
 

In 2012, the same man had organised a protest in front of the US Consulate in Chiang Mai. This is when he was noticed by the Thailand police.
 

In 2016 again, he was arrested by the Thailand police for being involved in a crime syndicate involving fake passports.
 

This time, an Iranian national named Hamid Reza Jafary, along with five other Pakistani nationals, was arrested.
 

They were found guilty of supplying fake travel documents as well as of human trafficking. “It is well known that ISI has links with groups that have ‘jihadist tendencies’,” the report stated.
