On a plea made by Mumbai crime branch, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate V V Bhambarde yesterday sought information from an Italian court about Mohammed Yaqub Janjua and his son Aamer, both Pakistani nationals, Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam said on Friday.

The duo, running a money transfer agency, has been accused of transferring USD 229 on November 25 last, a day before the terror assault, to activate an internet telephone account to facilitate communication between the attackers and their Pakistani handlers during the strikes.

The duo was arrested last week in a raid from Northern Italian city of Brescia.

After the terror strikes they had fled to Pakistan, but returned to Italy recently.

Suspected of aiding and abetting international terrorism, a red corner notice had been issued by the interpol to track them after FBI alerted the Italian police last December about the money been transferred from there.
