A British court has directed authorities to release bank accounts owned by PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif and his son, Suleman Sharif.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) gave the investigation file of the bank accounts at the Westminster court in which it was stated that the PML-N president and his family were not guilty of money laundering and corruption.
The report stated that Shahbaz and his son were not part of money laundering practices in Pakistan, Dubai and the UK. The NCA’s report also said Shahbaz Sharif’s financial dealings over the past 20 years were traced by the NCA but no proof of corruption, money laundering or criminal activities were located.
The NCA had appealed the UK court for a postponement when it first began investigating the case, stating that it required more time to finish the investigation against Shahbaz in several countries.
The agency then penned down a letter to Shahbaz Sharif, calling upon the PML-N leader to share info of his accounts with them or else, they would lawfully inspect the accounts by gaining a production order.
The NCA had started an investigation against Shahbaz Sharif and his family at the government of Pakistan’s demand.
