Addressing a press conference alongside top PML-N leadership on July 6, Maryam Nawaz had shown reporters a video in which accountability court judge Arshad Malik was reportedly heard saying that there was “no proof of corruption against the deposed premier” in the Al-Azizia reference.
Accountability Court Judge Arshad Malik, who sentenced former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to jail, had denied Maryam Nawaz’s allegations that the judge was blackmailed into convicting Nawaz without any evidence.
The Pakistan Muslime League Nawaz has been demanding the release of its supreme leader since the controversy of video leak against the accountability judge.
