The Anti-Corruption wing of the agency has directed Shehbaz, who was released from Jail after seven months in a NAB case, to appear before the investigation team on June 22. He has also been directed to bring relevant documents.
As per sources, FIA had obtained more proofs of Shehbaz Sharif’s involvement in the sugar scandal.
The former Punjab chief minister is facing allegations of money laundering through Ramazan Sugar Mills and Al Arabiya Sugar Mills. Furthermore, he and his family members have also been accused of Rs25 billion in money laundering, illegal sugar hoarding and gambling.
The notice issued to the younger brother of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif states that the political leader was sent a questionnaire twice but no reply was submitted.
It says that the FIA sent a questionnaire in December 2020 seeking a reply to five questions, adding that a reminder was also issued to him in January 2021.
According to the probing agency, a team of the FIA also visited Shehbaz Sharif when he was in jail but he did not give satisfactory replies.
The notice says that the former Punjab CM could be arrested over non-compliance.
