ISLAMABAD –Special Assistant to PM claims exposing Sharif family money laundering TT Network
Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar has claimed to expose the money laundering transactions made by the Sharif family.
Talking to the media on Friday, he said that the money was transferred through TTs. “Nawaz Sharif continued to gift the money to his daughter after receiving it,” he said.
He said that the money was transferred to Maryam Safdar from Hill Metal in 2014.
The special assistant said that the national exchequer was looted mercilessly. “Some things have been exposed and some has to be exposed yet,” he added.
He said that businessmen strike the plea bargain, but politicians hardly do it. “The NAB is freezing all assets. It’s my responsibility to look into the money laundering cases.”
Earlier on July 28, Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar said that former Punjab Chief minister Shehbaz Sharif just filed a complaint to the UK-based newspaper Daily Mail for publishing a story against him.
Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, the special assistant said Shehbaz Sharif should have gone to British courts as claimed by him. He said the journalist who published the story in Daily Mail still stands by it.
