The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Saturday submitted an investigation report on alleged money laundering facilitator of Opposition Leader in National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif’s family Qasim Qayyum in the accountability court.
The NAB also told the court that the record of ten foreign money exchanges in connection with money laundering case had also been obtained.
Earlier, the Lahore High Court (LHC) had formed a new bench to hear the bail plea of Hamza Shahbaz in the NAB references against him.
On May 22, the court had extended Hamza’s pre-arrest bail until May 28 in the same cases.
On May 8, the court extended his bail until May 22 when his counsel pointed out that the NAB had not given them reasons for his arrest and the documents showing approval of the inquiries by the competent authority.
The NAB had arrested Shehbaz Sharif in the Ashiana-e-Iqbal Housing Scheme scam on October 5. The former chief minister was charged with awarding illegal contracts to his favourite firm.
He was apprehended during his appearance before the NAB in the Saaf Pani Company scam. Sources said that three files were tabled before him. The bureau quizzed Shehbaz Sharif regarding a tender awarded to a private consultancy company for a survey of the Saaf Pani company.
