According to the details, PML-N leader Shehbaz and his son are accused of opening fake accounts in the name of their employees when the former had been serving as the Punjab chief minister. Those fake accounts were allegedly used to transfer Rs25 billion to the Sharif family.

In today’s hearing, Shehbaz accused the Federal Investigation Agency officials of harassing him and his son.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) official stated that both accused had joined the investigation but it was not concluded so show cause notices were sent to them for not being able to join the investigation.

On this defendants’ lawyer told that both were busy in NAB cases so they failed to join.

Meanwhile, Shehbaz Sharif accused the FIA investigation team of harassment and inappropriate behavior, telling the court that his family suffered loss of billions of rupees.

The court directed the concerned officials to avoid such behaviour and extended interim bail of the PML-N leaders till August 2.
