Shehbaz, Hamza acquitted in money laundering case

Lahore;(Tahir Chuhdary)_The central court of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Lahore Wednesday acquitted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz in the money laundering case, reported.

The reserved verdict in the case was read by Justice Ijaz Hasan Awan.

While accepting the acquittal pleas of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz, the court said there is insufficient evidence in the FIA challan and prosecuting the accused will be a waste of time.

The court said the prosecutors failed to prove link of Benami bank accounts to Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz.

Earlier, defence lawyer Amjad Parvez said the FIA challan is based on fairytale stories and there is no evidence to prove the allegations.

FIA prosecutor Farooq Bajwa opposed the acquittal plea of Shebaz and Hamza.
