*LAHORE - National Accountability Bureau has summoned business tycoon Mian Mansha.*
Mian Mansha will be questioned in connection to a money laundering case worth $95 million.
Mian Mansha is directed to appear before the anti-corruption watchdog along with the records of the hotel he owned in London.
The petitioner of the case has recorded his statement before the NAB.
The probe into money laundering cases has been launched on the orders of the apex court.
Two days earlier, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrested Anwar Majeed, a close aide of former president Asif Ali Zardari and the head of Omni Group, from outside the Supreme Court in a money laundering case of Rs35 billion through fake bank accounts.
The court was hearing a case pertaining to money laundering through fake bank accounts when Anwar Majeed and his sons appeared before the court.
His son Abdul Ghani Majeed was also arrested while three other sons Nimr, Kamal and Zulqernain were placed on the Exit Control List (ECL).
During the hearing, the bench also dismissed the petition of Omni Group counsel, Shahid Hamid, seeking pre-arrest bail for his clients.
