KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan President Ashraf Ghani's nominee for agriculture minister in his new Cabinet is on an Interpol wanted list for tax evasion in Estonia, a fact Ghani's spokesman said was unknown to his office at the time of his nomination.
Interpol's website lists Mohammad Yaqub Haidari, 52, as wanted in Estonia for "large-scale tax evasion, fraudulent conversion" in cases dating back to 2003.
A spokesman for Ghani, Nazifullah Salarzai, said on Saturday the presidential office was unaware Haidari had any legal troubles but was investigating.
