ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – A Combined Investigation Team (CIT) of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) – investigating into multi-billion-rupee money laundering and fake bank accounts case against top leaders of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) – has collected solid evidence against Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah and former CM Qaim Ali Shah in connection with an inquiry related to Thatha Sugar Mills and Dadu Sugar Mills.

According to sources, the chairman of the accountability watchdog has given the go-ahead to turn the inquiry into investigation, which in turn has raised chances of their arrest.

Moreover, the bureau has accused both of them of selling the Thatha Sugar Mills and Dadu Sugar Mills at minimal value to the Omni Group, and in this regard using their influence and abuse of power in the departments of the provincial government.

Both, Mr Murad and Mr Qaim have already recorded their statements in the inquiry.

Earlier, all officials of the Omni Group were also investigated by the NAB.

They had been summoned with regard to investigations pertaining to the Thatta and Dadu sugar mills in the light of a report of the JIT formed by the Supreme Court last year to investigate multi-billion-rupee money laundering and fake bank accounts case.
