The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday has submitted details of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo and former Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif’s back accounts, shares and other assets in accountability court with reference to confiscation of property.
According to the detailed report, Nawaz Sharif owns shares worth Rs 343,425 in Hudaibiya Paper Mills, Rs 48,606 in Ittefaq Textile Mills and Rs 22,213 in Hudaibiya Engineering Company.
The PML-N supremo has eight accounts at private banks. Five of the bank accounts show Rs 612,000 deposited money.
Nawaz Sharif is owner of one Land Cruiser, two Mercedes cars and two tractors. He also has a bungalow in Murree and 102-kanal agricultural land in Sheikhupura in his name.
Earlier, accountability court had ordered to seize properties and assets of Nawaz Sharif in Toshakhana case.
Previously, accountability court had indicted Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari and ex-Prime Minister (PM) Yousaf Raza Gilani in Toshakhana reference.
The court had also declared Nawaz Sharif as proclaimed offender over his continuous absence.
It is to be mentioned here that NAB had alleged Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif of getting cars from former PM Yousaf Raza Gilani through illegal way.
Zardari had only paid 15 percent cost of the cars by using his fake accounts, however, Libya and United Arab Emirates (UAE) also gifted him cars when he was serving as president, NAB prosecutor told.
NAB official claimed that Asif Ali Zardari used these cars for his personal work instead of submitting them to Toshakhana.
