It says that Qureshi used his personal contacts, by corrupt or illegal means, to influence many public servants for getting undue favours.

During the search and survey of Qureshi and his associates under Foreign Exchange Management Act,1999, ED also recovered various records related to dirty money, an official said.

Documents and BBM massages revealed that the alleged money launderer and middleman and his associates used the money to acquire immovable property situated outside India.
