Pakistan's Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) said it welcomed a ruling by the Lahore High Court (LHC) that money laundering cases can proceed independently, without waiting for the conclusion of related tax cases, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
The ruling addresses a procedural question about the sequencing of legal proceedings in cases where money laundering allegations are linked to underlying tax matters.
The FBR's welcome of the decision suggests the agency views the ruling as strengthening its ability to pursue financial crime cases without being held up by parallel tax litigation.
APP's report did not include further detail on the specific cases that prompted the ruling or the court's full reasoning.
Money laundering enforcement has been an area of continued focus for Pakistani authorities amid broader efforts to strengthen financial oversight and compliance with international anti-money-laundering standards.
