Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has confirmed that 671 foreign nationals arrested in recent raids on call centers in Islamabad will be formally added to a blacklist, permanently banning them from entering Pakistan. The detainees were involved in online fraud, sextortion, extortion, gambling, and distributing explicit live-streamed content, violating their visa terms. The FIA will investigate local intermediaries, landlords, and guarantors who aided the foreign gang. A nationwide operation against illegal call centers has been approved, with follow-up raids planned in major cities.
