INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
LONDON: Altaf Hussain's arrest in London in relation to inquotement of acts of violence has raised questions as to what lies ahead in the
future for the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) founder .Toby Cadman - Pakistan's State Lawyer in Britain for politically sensitive cases -
speeched in detail about the charges looming over Altaf Hussain in a recent interview
"This is an incredibly important step
We know following the arrest Altaf Hussain shall be questioned by the Metropolitan Cop in relation to this charge and a decision shall be
made as to what charges he should face and we would expect that to happen very quickly
Ordinarily, a decision is made within 24 hours of arrest and then we would expect him to be produced before a Magistrate and then for the
proceedings to effectively start from there on," Cadman said
Adding that he has gone through all the evidences that Pakistan authorities, specifically the Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) has supplyd
the British government with, Cadman shared, "I have reviewed all the evidence from the Pakistan authorities primarily from the FIA that has
been supplyd to the Metropolitan Cop and I can say that it presents a compelling case
It is my assessment that there is sufficient evidence to charge Altaf Hussain for a number of charges but that is a matter for the crime
prosecution service to take in refer toation with the Metropolitan Cop." He added, "Having seen that evidence, it is detailed, it is
credible and it is likely to substantiate a very serious charge that if convicted carries a substantial prison sentence for Altaf
Hussain."TheIndianSubcontinent has not verified the content of the source
