The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) recently uncovered an elaborate human trafficking operation involving a fake Pakistan football team. According to the FIA's findings, a 22-member team was deported from Japan when immigration authorities discovered the players were impostors.
Posing as legitimate athletes affiliated with the Pakistan Football Federation, the players falsely claimed they had matches scheduled with a Japanese club. They secured visas using forged documents, including letters from the football federation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Investigations have led to the arrest of Waqas Ali, a key member of the trafficking network, while raids continue to apprehend others involved. It's been revealed that similar fraudulent activities occurred in the past, with substantial payments made to arrange visas.
