He said the government had interfered1 in his efforts to pursue those responsible for massive corruption2 at the privately-owned Kabul Bank.

Waheed Omar, a spokesman for President Hamid Karzai, said Mr Fitrat's resignation amounted to treason.

He added that Mr Fitrat was himself under investigation4.

The embezzlement5（侵占，挪用） at Kabul Bank almost lead to its collapse6 last year.

Investigators7 say that the bank - bailed8 out in September - made hundreds of millions of dollars of inappropriate loans.

President Karzai has previously9 pledged to fully10 investigate those involved in the crisis.

'High profile figures'

Mr Fitrat - who has left Afghanistan - said he had expected the probe would "help bring a closure" to the Kabul Bank incident, but instead it had "brought more danger and it brought more conspiracy11 against me and against my life".

"My life was completely in danger and this was particularly true after I spoke3 to the parliament and exposed some people who are responsible for the crisis of Kabul Bank," he said, speaking from the United States.

Two months ago, Mr Fitrat publicly named in parliament high-profile figures who were allegedly involved.

Some of President Karzai's relatives, including his brother, Mahmoud Karzai, are among those named in connection with the scandal.

In May, a report by Afghanistan's anti-corruption office showed about $467m (about £290m) of outstanding loans were made without appropriate documentation or collateral12（抵押品，担保品） .

President Karzai has said that Afghanistan lacks the necessary banking13 experience to oversee14 the institution and has blamed foreign advisers15.

He has also pledged to ensure that those responsible are subject to criminal investigations16.

Mr Fitrat said he had permanent residence status in the US and that he would not be returning to Afghanistan.
