ISLAMABAD: The ruling Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) today (Monday) decided to hold fresh investigations into the Hudaiybia Papers Mill case, claiming that it was the starting point of the Sharif family’s corruption.
Taking to Twitter, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said that the decision to the effect was taken during a detailed briefing given to Prime Minister Imran Khan by his legal team about the cases against PML- N President Shehbaz Sharif.
Fawad Chaudhry further said both Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif were the main accused in the Hudaiybia case. “It was all the more important to bring the case to its logical conclusion,” the minister added.
“The ways and means for laundering looted money abroad in Hudaiybia case were later adopted in other cases,” he said, adding that the agencies concerned were being issued directives to probe the Hudaiybia case afresh.
The Hudaibiya Paper Mills money laundering case was initiated in 2000 on the basis of a confessional statement of PML-N leader Ishaq Dar. In his statement, Dar had confessed to laundering money on behalf of the Sharif family. The PML-N claimed, however, the statement was taken under duress.
