LAHORE (Dunya News) – An accountability court in Lahore on Tuesday reserved a verdict on another extension in physical remand of Mohammad Mushtaq alias Chini, the alleged front man of Sharif family.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore produced him in the court and told the court that he was accused of transferring millions of rupees into the account of Salman Shahbaz.
The NAB prosecutor also disclosed that funds from abroad were transferred into Salman Shahbaz’s account.
It was further stated that Salman and Muhammad Usman used to deal with the amount transferred into his account.
The prosecutor maintained that Chini had invested Rs200 million, and the remaining amount of Rs400 million was transferred from abroad.
Thereby, the prosecutor pleaded with the court for another extension in his remand by stating that transactions from 200 bank accounts were traced so far, while further investigation into the matter was required.
On April 8, the Ramzan Sugar Mills manager, Mohammad Mushtaq alias Chini, whose name had been put in the Exit Control List (ECL), was taken into custody by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) while attempting to flee to Dubai from Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore.
He had gone underground after National Assembly Opposition Leader Shahbaz Sharif was arrested and was being investigated by the NAB.
