Court extends interim bails of Shehbaz, Hamza in money laundering case

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shehbaz appeared before a Lahore’s banking court in money laundering case on Saturday.

During the proceedings, the court extended the interim bails of the PML-N leaders till November 20.

Shehbaz termed money laundering allegations as baseless and said that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has failed to prove corruption of even a single penny against him and his son in a year.

He added that the Daily Mail’s lawyer had confessed to not having enough evidence during the proceedings in a British court.

The NAB prosecutor, however, said that the London verdict has nothing to do with this case.

Earlier on November 11 last year, Shehbaz and his son Hamza were indicted in the money laundering reference by the accountability court.

All the accused in the case had pleaded not guilty.

Shehbaz, while rejecting the allegations of the anti-graft watchdog, had said that he is being politically victimised.
