Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Sunday traced the printing press from where the accused company Axact printed fake degrees. According to details, FIA personnel have included the owner of the press in the investigation and have also launched action against him. On the other hand, investigation team took the Chief Executive of Axact company to the hospital for checkup where the doctors, after medical examination, sent him back stating that he is alright.
On the other hand, senior FIA official Shahid Hayat said Sunday that they will complete investigation report into the Axact fake degree scam in 17 days.
"We are given 17 days for investigation. The report will be completed in 17 days and submitted to court," Hayat told reporters at a press conference.
The FIA director general said that the FIA had already gathered "enough documentary proof to go to court" against the accused company. "I am confirming this as a prosecutor in this case that, through documents and internal emails, we have proof" to proceed in court with further charges against Axact, he said.
Hayat did not give detailed information, saying he would only give answer to questions for which the FIA has detailed supporting evidence. "What I will say or share with you here today will be completely backed by documentary proof. I will not shoot darts in the air or answer any other questions. Even at this moment, we have enough documentary proof to go to the court and prove it in the court of law," he said.
Earlier this week, the FIA said it recovered hundreds of thousands of fake diplomas, certificates and student identity cards in a raid on the company's Karachi headquarters.
When asked by a reporter today how many fake degrees had been recovered in raids on Axact's offices, he said he could not confirm the exact number at the moment. He added that the FIA has not yet been contacted by any foreign investigative authority.
