He extorts huge sums of money and expensive gifts from unions, businessmen and industrialists on various pretexts, including the expenses of domestic and foreign guests.

According to the news source, a number of businessmen talked about the extortion of this person with some officials of the Taliban group and stated that they were warned by the Taliban group that if they do not pay them, they will hand them over to the intelligence department of this group.
This source adds: Despite the coverage of this issue in the domestic and foreign media, due to Mr. Hakimi’s position as a consultant in the Ministry of Industries of the Taliban group, no one has yet taken any action regarding these extortions.
According to the source; Mr. Hakimi’s excessive extortions from national businessmen, on the one hand, have prevented private sector investment in the country, and on the other hand, have created great mistrust between national and international businessmen and the Ministry of Commerce.
However, this reliable news comes at a time when the Taliban group has always emphasized that the government of this group has achieved positive results in the fight against administrative corruption compared to previous governments.
