LAHORE (Dunya News) – Posters have been pasted against Chaudhry Moonis Elahi, the son of former Punjab chief minister Parvez Elahi, at different locations in connection with his absence from court in the money-laundering case.
Moonis Elahi was declared a proclaimed offender on Nov 13 in the case. He faces charges of receiving kickbacks worth billions of rupees in development projects.
The posters placed at different locations read that he is absconding and not appearing in court. The court gave Moonis a chance to appear before the court on Thursday to join the proceedings of the case.
The Special Central Court initiated proceedings against Moonis.
A couple of days ago, eight different bank accounts of Moonis Elahi were frozen and six properties sealed in Lahore.
