While no other details have been given, this is possibly linked to the Awan brothers imprisoning and subsequently extorting their stepmother for their father’s inheritance – or possibly over reports that the Awans overcharged congress for IT equipment.

The arrest comes days after the Daily Caller reported that the FBI had seized suspicious computer equipment from the garage of a rented house Imran and Abid Awan owned.

FBI agents seized smashed computer hard drives from the home of Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s information technology (IT) administrator, according to an individual who was interviewed by Bureau investigators in the case and a high level congressional source.

Shortly after the criminal probe was revealed in February, Imran abruptly moved out of his longtime home on Hawkshead Drive in Lorton, Va., and listed it for rent on a website that connects landlords with military families. –Daily Caller

The new tenants were none other than a retired Marine and his active duty Navy wife. In the garage, they found “wireless routers, hard drives that look like they tried to destroy, laptops, [and] a lot of brand new expensive toner.”

INFILTRATION

The Awans – personal friends of Debbie Wasserman Shultz, have collected over 4 million dollars since 2009 working on the hill. They were “shared employees,” hired by multiple Democrats for IT work whenever it was needed – floating all over the place doing all sorts of work on House members computers. Democrats Juaquin Castro, Cedric Richmond, Andre Carson, Jackie Speier, Tammy Duckworth, and Louis Frankel all employed the Awans.

The Pakistanis also managed computers for members of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence – all of whom have top secret clearance and are looking into Russian election influence. Furthermore, it has been rumored that the Awans are blackmailing members of Congerss with secrets gleaned from emails.

Furthermore, per ZeroHedge:

Imran Awan had access to Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s iPad password, meaning that the brothers also had direct access to the notorious DNC emails.

The brothers are accused of removing hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment from congressional offices, including computers and servers, while also running a procurement scheme in which they bought equipment, then overcharged the House administrative office that assigns such contractors to members.

After they caught wind of an investigation, Imran’s wife Abid fled the country to Pakistan, “where her family has significant assets and VIP-level protection.”

And as iBankCoin reported in May:

In February, U.S. Capitol police informed House members that the three Awan brothers from Pakistan, Abid, Jamal, and Imran – may have stolen congressional data. They are under investigation by Capitol Police with the assistance of ‘outside’ help.

THREE DAYS before U.S. Capitol Police told House members about the Awans, their stempmother called Fairfax County, Virginia police report she was imprisoned in their house – kept from her husband’s deathbed. Oh, and they were bugging her with listening devices.

After their father died, the Awans carted their stepmother to Pakistan to collect her inheritance – which they promptly extorted from her.

A relative described the woman’s life as being completely controlled by the brothers for months while they schemed to take their father’s life insurance. –Daily Caller
