Interpol Closes Probe Into PTI’s Moonis Elahi, Confirms No Notice Issued

A letter from the secretary general cites lack of jurisdiction after a two-year review.

Overview

  • Interpol’s General Secretariat ended a nearly two-year review and closed Pakistan’s requests involving Moonis Elahi.
  • The agency certified he is not the subject of any Interpol notice or diffusion, leaving no international alerts in its system.
  • Pakistani bodies including the FIA, NAB, ACE and Punjab Police had pursued a Red Notice and extradition over alleged murder, money laundering, bribery, fraud and misuse of authority.
  • Interpol determined the matter fell outside its scope after hearing submissions from all sides, with sources also citing insufficient evidence.
  • The ruling lifts international notice–based travel constraints for the Barcelona-based PTI leader and is portrayed as a setback for the PML-N government while domestic cases remain pending.
