A major scandal has emerged in the investigation of the Greece boat accident, revealing the involvement of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) officers in human trafficking operations. The tragedy, which brought global attention to the plight of illegal migrants, has resulted in the expulsion of 18 FIA officials, including a sub-inspector, three ASIs, and 11 head constables.

The affected officers, previously posted in Gujrat, Gujranwala, and Sialkot, have been transferred, and Sialkot Airport’s Additional Director (Immigration), Ali Zaidi, has been reassigned.
