The FIA had sent the first request to Interpol one week ago after the February 15, 2018 decision of the Supreme Court to issue arrest warrants for Hussain Haqqani. The SC had ordered Mr. Haqqani to appear in the Memo gate case but he failed to response with the order. Mr. Haqqani stated the Supreme Court order for his arrest as “propaganda against him”.

The interior ministry has already given approval for the arrest of Mr. Haqqani through Interpol and the FIA has written to its headquarters in France a letter that Mr. Haqqani had assured the Supreme Court in 2012 to come back to Pakistan but despite repeated notices, he is not appearing before the court.

The Supreme Court has termed the Memo gate scandal a matter of national politics and ordered that Mr. Haqqani be brought back to Pakistan through Interpol as soon as possible.

Chief Justice Mian Saqib Nisar who was heading a three-judge bench, remarked that Hussain Haqqani had submitted an undertaking to the court before leaving for the US that he would appear before the SC but he had not appeared yet.

It is expected that Interpol will decide in a couple of days whether or not to issue red warrants for Hussain Haqqani. After the issuance of the red warrants, an FIA team will proceed to the US to arrest Mr. Haqqani.
