Why Interpol refused to issue Red Warrants against Hussain Nawaz, Hasan Nawaz?

ISLAMABAD – Interpol, while rejecting the Federal Investigation Agency’srequest, stated that the Hassan and Hussain are politically exposedpersonalities, hence their red warrants can not be issued.

The FIA has also informed the interior ministry and high officials in thisregard.

In July last year, the accountability court had declared both of Sharif’ssons as proclaimed offenders and ordered issuance of non-bailable perpetualwarrants for their arrest in the Avenfield reference.

In the samejudgement, announced by Judge Muhammad Bashir, the court sentenced oustedpremier to 10 years rigorous imprisonment, his daughter Maryam to sevenyears rigorous imprisonment and son-in-law, Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar,to one-year rigorous imprisonment.

Subsequently, the FIA submitted an application to the Interpol headquartersin France with the request to issue red warrant of Hassan and Hussain.
