LAHORE: President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Shehbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shahbaz on Saturday appeared before Lahore’s accountability court in money laundering and Ramzan Sugar Mills cases.
At the outset of the hearing, the associate lawyer of Shehbaz Sharif informed the court that Amjad Pervaiz, the main lawyer in the case is infected with the dengue virus and pleaded for a new date for the hearing of the case.
The court asked the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) about the report in the case. “Report is incomplete,” replied the FIA counsel.
How long does it take to present an interim report? asked the court.
Shehbaz said that it has been a year since, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has failed to prove corruption of even a single penny against us.
Later the court extended the interim bail of Shehbaz and his son till November 20.
