In its petition, the ACC stated that it has already filed a case against Sima Rahman for accumulating illegal wealth with the assistance of her husband and holding those assets in her name.
As the case is currently under investigation, the commission expressed concern that the accused might attempt to transfer the assets to avoid legal consequences. Therefore, it requested that her movable and immovable properties be attached and her bank accounts frozen.
