Sources: Possible Arrest of Former Afghan Parliamentary Deputy in the United States.
Credible sources have told the media that Mirza Katawazi, former First Deputy Speaker of Afghanistan’s parliament, is wanted by international institutions on charges of corruption, document forgery, and money laundering.
According to the sources, there is a strong possibility that he may soon be arrested by United States authorities.
Available information indicates that the case involves participation in money-laundering networks and facilitating illegal financial flows for several current officials who are blacklisted by the international community. Reports also suggest that Mirza Katawazi provided armored vehicles as “gifts” to certain Taliban officials in an effort to establish close cooperation—actions allegedly linked to cases involving usurped properties and ongoing legal disputes.
Sources say the former official is currently residing in the United States and is under surveillance by U.S. security agencies. It is reported that his case may follow a trajectory similar to that of Zahir Qadir, potentially resulting in blacklisting of companies linked to him. Sources also claim that Mirza Katawazi is in the U.S. at the invitation of Scott Miller, accompanied by his family.
