Accountability court hears assets beyond income reference against Dar
Lawyer told that the NAB has presented ten witnesses in the court so far.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Accountability court on Wednesday has resumed hearing of assets beyond known income reference against former Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.
During the proceedings, the defence lawyer told that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has presented ten witnesses in the court so far. None of these witnesses have proved the involvement of the approver in the crime, he added.
Ishaq Dar, 67, was indicted in October in a graft case in which he is accused of making assets that were “disproportionate to his known sources of income”.
The case was filed against him by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in the light of the Supreme Court order of July 28 that disqualified Nawaz Sharif as prime minister in the Panama Papers scandal.
In its case against Dar, the NAB has alleged that the accused has acquired assets and pecuniary interests/resources in his own name and/or in the name of his dependents of an approximate amount of Rs 831.678 million.
Dar is in London since October and has been seeking treatment of an undefined heart complication at a Harley Street hospital.
