LONDON: Karachi businessman Jabir Motiwala has reached Karachi after the United States of America (USA) officially dropped his extradition request to the US to face charges of Class-A drug importation, money-laundering.
Sources at the Home Office confirmed that Jabir Motiwala – whose real name is Jabir Siddiq – was freed on Wednesday from the high-security Wandsworth prison after spending 32 months in a high security prison on American extradition request. Last week the US government dropped all charges against Motiwala in a move that has surprised the legal community internationally as such a move on America’s part is rare and happens only in exceptional cases when the US prosecution evidence is either seriously compromised or new evidence emerges weakening the prosecution case.
