The Afghan Attorney General Office (AGO) officials said Thursday that $729 million from the embezzled Kabul Bank money is still missing, said Khaama Press.
Basir Azizi, spokesman for the Attorney General Office told reporters that the government has managed to recollect $184 million from $913 million which were embezzled by the former officials and employees of the bank.
Azizi further added that the Attorney General Office has resumed work on Kabul Bank scandal case.
He said the former Central Bank – De Afghanistan Bank chief Abdul Qadir Fitrat who escaped from the country following the collapse of the bank is being chased through Interpol.
According to Azizi, at least 19 people including the former Central Bank chief had bailed, but the government will bring them back into custody.
Azizi also added that the Attorney General Office has filed a case with the appellate court since the penalties awarded to the convicts are not sufficient and their cases should be reviewed.
