Lahore, June 4: Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency, which is probing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his son and Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz in a multi-billion rupees money laundering case, on Saturday requested the court to allow their arrest for further investigation.
As per reports by Pakistan's local media, a special court of the country's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has issued an order for the indictment of the new Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his son, Punjab Chief Minister-elect Humza in a money laundering case amounting to USD 75 million.
The court was to indict the duo and the other alleged participants of this case earlier this month, but the process was delayed due to Sharif's unavailability.
Shehbaz Sharif and his two sons were booked by the FIA under various sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Anti Money Laundering Act in November 2020.
