Moin Akhtar Quereshi, a leading meat exporter and president of the Doon School Old Boys Association with close connection with ministers, bureaucrats and other influential people, is being probed for alleged hawala links used to transfer crores of rupees to western countries through Dubai. But the Income Tax Department, which has been conducting investigations into Quereshi's various activities and businesses, is reported to be under pressure to go slow. It is being alleged that powerful persons close to Quereshi are using their influence to scuttle the probe, during which more than Rs 6 crore in cash has been seized so far and over 20 lockers sealed by the government agency.
The authorities here initiated the investigations after a tip-off from British intelligence that a meat exporter could possibly be the conduit for hawala transactions through Dubai, Paris and London. The British intelligence was earlier tipped off that Quereshi had paid big amounts in cash to the Dorchester Hotel in London.
