Federal Investigators gave a clean chit to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s son Salman Shahbaz in the money laundering, it emerged on Saturday.
\nDuring today\u2019s hearing on Shahbaz\u2019s interim bail application, the Federal Investigation Agency submitted a report, apprising the Special Central Court Lahore about finding no evidence of the allegations against the son of sitting prime minister, and co-accused Tahir Naqvi.
\nAuthorities submitted a charge sheet against Suleman to the extent of the money laundering allegations. In light of the challan submitted by FIA, the court asked Suleman if he wanted to withdraw his guarantees submitted with the Special court in a graft case.
\nFollowing the arguments, the court allowed the premier\u2019s son to withdraw his interim bail application. The court also summoned\u00a0Salman Shehbaz\u00a0for a trial next month.
\nLast year in December, the noted businessman returned to his homeland after four years of self-exile in London as he was accused in a money laundering case registered by the previous government.
\nOn his arrival, the IHC bench granted him 14 days of protective bail and directed him to appear before the special court.
\nSalman Shehbaz earlier maintained that he left for UK in 2018 after the case was lodged in 2020, two years after he left his homeland.
