LAHORE: A team of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) arrived at Kot Lakhpat Jail on Friday to interrogate PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif in Rs25 billion money laundering case.

The team quizzed Mr Sharif, who is also Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, about his alleged role in the money laundering. A day earlier, it interrogated his son Hamza Shahbaz in the case.

The FIA had registered the alleged money laundering case of Rs25 billion against him and his two sons, Hamza and Suleman under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2010.

Earlier, the agency had written a letter to the Punjab prison department seeking permission to record statements of the father-son duo in Kot Lakhpat Jail.
