AC Extends Hamza Shehbaz’s Judicial Remand

LAHORE: An accountability court on Monday extended the judicial remand of Punjab Assembly Opposition Leader Hamza Shahbaz until August 17 in a money laundering and assets beyond means case.

Jail authorities didn’t bring the PML-N leader to court citing the coronavirus SOPs.

To a question about the filing of a reference against Hamza Shahbaz, a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor replied that the reference is in the final phase and will soon be filed in court.

He said some co-accused in the case are still being investigated, due to which the bureau is unable to file the reference at present and needs some time to complete the investigation.
