Overview
- Interpol certified that Moonis Elahi is not subject to any notice or diffusion and closed the file tied to Pakistan’s request.
- Officials concluded the case fell outside Interpol’s scope, and sources reported the review did not find supporting evidence for the allegations.
- Pakistani agencies had sought a Red Notice and extradition over accusations including murder, money laundering, bribery, fraud, and misuse of authority.
- The outcome is reported as a political setback for the PML-N-led government, while Elahi’s lawyer cast the decision as a clean chit and called the cases politically motivated.
- Elahi has lived in Barcelona since 2023, and his removal from international alert lists is expected to ease travel, according to reports.
