The brother of the Afghan President Hamid Karzai is under investigation by US prosecutors as part of a corruption probe that could complicate Washington's dealings with Kabul.
Mahmoud Karzai, Mr Karzai's eldest brother who is a US citizen, has denied any wrongdoing, insisting that his estimated $12 million (£7.5 million) results from legitimate business activities.
Mr Karzai is suspected of tax evasion, racketeering and extortion. However, he said that his sole interest was in "rebuilding Afghanistan" and the investigation would establish that.
