Moonis Elahi in the corruption allegations case seeking his arrest and extradition to Pakistan, Interpol has dropped the terrorism case extradition request for Zulfi Bukhari by the Government of Pakistan \u2014 in a big setback to the interior ministry\u2019s efforts to repatriate exiled and wanted PTI leaders.<br \/>\nThe General Secretariat of the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) has confirmed that it has dropped its investigation into Bukhari and that he is no longer \u201csubject to an Interpol notice or diffusion\u201d.<br \/>\nAround two years ago, the interior ministry approached Interpol seeking red notices against Moonis and Bukhari.<br \/>\nThe case against Moonis was based on an alleged murder conspiracy from London to Gujarat and the alleged corruption cases during former prime minister Imran Khan\u2019s government \u2014 that the PTI leader was behind the murder case in Gujarat after leaving Pakistan over three years ago, and made money through corrupt means when in power.<br \/>\nAgainst Bukhari, the interior ministry alleged in its Interpol complaint that he was involved in terrorism outside the Judicial Complex during PTI founder Khan\u2019s appearances, as well as other incidents of terrorism.<br \/>\nThe interior ministry had also told Interpol that Bukhari should be handed over to Pakistan for his role in the Al-Qadir Trust case, since he was the central character in the case alongside Bushra Bibi and Khan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Moonis Elahi LONDON\/LYON A month after giving a clean
