"Al-Attar was indicted by the federal government acting on behalf of the IRS in March 2012 for having fraudulently prepared tax returns between 2004 and 2006."
To me it appears that the Feds looked the other way, and allowed him to leave the country. You'd think that someone who had already been indicted would have been put on house arrest, and/or had his passport(s) revoked, or at least been under surveillance. Compare that with Imran Awan getting picked up at the airport, and being arrested. He hadn't even been indicted, and his movements were obviously being watched.
Then there's Florida's Democrat Rep. Theo Deutch who paid a vendor for the Awans. What the hell did the Awan brothers have on Deutch to get him to cough up monthly payments to a vendor they failed to pay themselves? So when is Deutch going to be investigated?
and why the money was allowed to be sent, especially to Pakistan, when the reason for the wire transfer was immediately changed from "funeral expenses" to "purchasing property",
1. The NSA can do a voice matching search on that phone call
2. Correct on both counts...they intended to purchase a mausoleum.
Just Bank fraud? This guy was transferring info from congressman on intelligence committees to off site computers,his whole family was on the dole for millions.
Brandon C. Merriman, Special Agent keeps alluding to the fact that he has experience in these matters in the documents linked, why can’t he just say that the guy violated the law and leave it at that.
Why does he have to submit a document to build up his resume, someone broke the law or they didn’t.
Does it take a guy with a reputation with others involved in these matters or can we simply enforce the rule of law?
Thanks for your reply. Is anyone else experiencing the slow-down on FR again? I noticed it earlier in the evening, and it’s gotten worse as the night has progressed. It’s the same problem we had earlier in the month.
Very interesting Doug. It seems Awan attempting to leave the country forced them to file this criminal complaint. They’ve been working on this case for some time and so far this is all they have. Or who knows? Maybe there’s more and they’re holding their cards close.
However, if this Awan group really were selling government secrets, you’d think they wouldn’t be playing these common fraudulent games like not claiming rental income and lying on loan applications. Then again, they might just be trying to squeeze the very last cent they can out of America.
I'm assuming that it's part of the affidavit process, that the agent who conducted the investigation needs to show the court that he is trained in that specific area of expertise so that the defense lawyers can't come back...like they have, and say their client is being railroaded because of "Islamophobia, the ultra-right-wing and pizzagate." The agents credentials add strength to the investigation, and the charges as presented in the affidavit.
I think they need to file something quickly so he could be apprehended before fleeing. There will undoubtedly be more.
Great catch!!! CIA!!! LOL!! They probably ARE part of the CORRUPT CIA!!
CNN Money shows phone # 202 604 7650 in the affidavit, listed to - Imran Awan agent (Fairfax Realty - not listed in the affidavit)

What is a little scarier, Alvi provided 202-225-0346 as a contact number (in the affidavit. A search comes up as a fax number for:
Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (D-FL - 25th dist)
http://www.ucar.edu/oga/html/links/108th_congress.html
That phone number also gives me a web hit for the speaker of the house we site and Rep. Nydia Velazquez web site, though I can’t find this phone number on either.
I need to do some more scut work.
