On Friday, the indictment of Shehbaz Sharif and his son, Hamza Sharif, was put on hold. They are accused of money laundering.
A special court led by Ijaz Awan sent out a written order for the hearing of a case against Sharif and his son for their alleged involvement in the sugar scam. The case is about how they allegedly used sugar to make money.
Sharif said during the case that the copies that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) gave him were not clear.
The president of the PMLN group said that the copies were of poor quality. Kashif Majeed, Mohammad Aslam, and Azhar Abbas also asked for clear copies of the challenge.
The hearing was postponed until February 28, and the FIA was told to give Shehbaz’s lawyers new copies of the documents they were given by the judge.
Shehbaz told the reporters after the hearing that the National Assembly session had to be postponed because of the hearing, but he didn’t say why.
In the past, a special court gave copies of the challenge and other important documents to the Leader of the Opposition and his son, who will be indicted on February 18.
In November 2020, the FIA will charge Shehbaz and Hamza Shehbaz with money laundering.
It also named 14 other people as suspects in the case.
