Dawood Ibrahim’s trusted aide and finance manager Jabir Moti has been held in London. According to reports, Moti, a Pakistani citizen was detained by officials of the Charring Cross Police Station in London. India had made requests for Moti’s arrest earlier. Moti also is also known by another name ‘Jabir Siddique’ and is said to be very close to Dawood and his wife Mahajabeen.
It is a major breakthrough for Indian agencies as they had requested the UK agencies for Moti’s arrest earlier. Other than his association with Dawood Ibrahim, he is allegedly involved in drug smuggling, extortion and other criminal activities.
Various media reports claim that Moti handles Dawood’s investments in various countries, including the UK, Europe, South East Asia and Pakistan. Terrorist groups in Pakistan use money earned from investments made by Dawood Ibrahim in various countries.
Known to be an important member of the ‘D Company’, Moti also owns some valuable property in the residential compound owned by Dawood’s family in Karachi.
If intelligence sources are to be believed, Moti was trying to obtain dual nationality status in Barabudur and Antigua and the Dominican Republic and a permanent resident status in Hungary.
