Pakistan’s anti-graft body reopens money-laundering case against Maryam Nawaz
The Hindu
Pakistan’s anti-graft body on Wednesday reopened a money-laundering investigation against embattled former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz and summoned her on March 26.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has accused 47-year-old Maryam of committing money-laundering through investments of variable heavy amounts being the main shareholder of Chaudhry Sugar Mills. It said she was involved in money laundering with the help of some foreigners during the period of 1992-93 when her father was the Prime Minister. Maryam was sentenced to seven years in jail in July 2018 in connection with the case that pertains to the ownership of the Sharif family’s posh apartments at Avenfield House, London. The sentence was, however, suspended by the Islamabad High Court.
