I don’t think they have enough evidence against Altaf Hussain for the murder of Imran Farooq, but there is enough evidence to convict him of money laundering. Altaf Hussain was in police custody for more than 7 hours (not 9), even in hospital he was in police custody. I think he was in custody for close to 72 hours.

In a criminal case the burden of proof is greater and in a high profile case police would want to take their time and cover every angle. There will be other people involved as well and they would also need to be investigated.

Not 72 hours, but 9 hours, as hospital time is not counted in UK as part of custody.

As for money laundry, it is obvious that Altaf and his team must have claimed that none belong to Altaf but he is just keeper of party money (unlike property and money in Nawaz and Zardari name, that they claim it is theirs). Further, Altaf and his team must have claimed that money was either collected in UK on behalf of party or came from Pakistan sent by party for safe investment or UK expenses.

Now, police have to prove that money belongs to Altaf hussain and he is not just keeper, plus origin of money is outside UK and acquired illegally … and even then it would be party (MQM) and not Altaf Bhai that would get booked for money laundry … unless MQM comes out and say that money do not belong to them.

So, now you can see, how difficult (rather impossible) it would be to prove that money was acquired by Altaf Hussain illegally in Pakistan (Altaf was not even in Pakistan nor held any post in Pakistan where he could acquire money illegally) … or that money belongs to Altaf Hussain and not party … or that money was acquired illegally in UK … as how can one prove that it was not money donated to party and got accumulated over years (~650000 pounds is not that big a sum) … as I believe there must be many who might say that they have given donation to party themselves.

Question would arise that, why money at home and not in bank, but if claimed that it is personal preference or interest is haram in Islam … hence money at home … how can one prove that money was at home because of its dubious origin?

Note: It is not what police believe, Pakistani believe, or people believe, but it is what can be proven without any doubt in court and convince unbiased jury without doubt, with sufficient credible proof.
