GUJRANWALA: The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) has decided to put names of 41 government officials on the exit control list (ECL) who are involved in corruption cases and have been declared absconders by the court of law.
This was stated by ACE Regional Director Muzaffar Khan Sial while talking to a private TV channel.
He said the ACE had booked these officials of various departments in corruption cases, but they were still at large and were not ready to present themselves for trial since long.
Mr Sial said these accused officials were involved in embezzlement of heavy amounts and they could fly abroad at any time.
He said the ACE had put their names on the ECL to foil their attempt to slip abroad while the ACE was also in contact with the Interior Ministry.
He said at least 56 accused officials, including 22 absconders and four gazetted officers, had been arrested during a recent campaign.
Mr Sial said the regional directorate had received as many as 118 new applications against government officials while eight new cases had been registered in April.
He said four of the applications had been forwarded to authorities of the departments concerned for departmental action.
He said seven government officials had been arrested red-handed while taking bribe during the period.
