Islamabad: The counsel for Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) told a special court judge that his client wants to arrest both Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his son, Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz, in a money laundering case involving 16 billion PKR. Special Court (Central-I) Presiding judge Ijaz Hassan Awan also reissued arrest warrants for the Prime Minister’s other son, Suleman Shehbaz, as well as Tahir Naqvi and Malik Maqsood in the case, The Express Tribune reported.
During the previous hearing, the court had directed the FIA counsel to submit the challan again pointing out that there were flaws in the one presented to it. The agency submitted another challan against the father and son duo to the court. The date of birth and full address of the suspects have been mentioned in the new challan as well as the death of Suleman’s co-accused Shabbar has been confirmed. However, the FIA did not make any changes in the investigation process and the witnesses in the case.
