LAHORE: An accountability court today (Monday) has decided to indict PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, his son Hamza Shehbaz and other members of his family on November 11 in a money laundering and assets beyond means case.
According to details, Shehbaz Sharif and his son were brought to the accountability court in an armoured personnel carrier (APC) as it resumed hearing.
During the hearing, the accountability judge expressed displeasure over people crowding the courtroom and observed that only limited persons would be allowed inside the court. He called a short recess.
Resuming the hearing later, the court provided copies of approvers’ statements to Shehbaz, Hamza and other accused. The court adjourned the case until November 11 when the judge ruled, the court will frame charges against all accused.
A National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team arrested Shehbaz from outside the courtroom after the Lahore High Court rejected his bail petition in the case on September 28.
The accountability watchdog has accused him of laundering money and owning more assets than his known sources of income.
