In the petition, the Commission said that they have found in its inquiry that Hannan amassed huge assets beyond known sources of income after his and his family members' names by misusing his power, irregularities and corruption.
The Commission needs a court order regarding confiscation of the assets belonging to Hannan and his family members as the properties cannot be transferred and transported to another place.
