LAHORE: A special court said Wednesday it would indict Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister-elect Hamza Shahbaz in a money laundering case on May 14.
The Federal Investigation Agency's (FIA) special court had to indict the father-son duo and others allegedly involved in the case earlier this month, but due to the absence of PM Shehbaz, the process was delayed till April 27 (today).
But even today, the prime minister did not appear before the court and, as a result — in its written order — the special court summoned him, Hamza, and all the other suspects on May 14.
"It is being made clear to all the parties that on the next hearing, we will indict them [...] all the suspects should ensure their attendance," the special court's order said.
