Shehbaz Sharif’s profession was money laundering in garb of business: Shahzad Akbar

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Adviser to the Prime Minister on Accountability and Interior Shahzad Akbar said that the profession of Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif was to do money launder in the garb of business.

Addressing a press conference on Thursday, he said that Shehbaz Sharif had done money laundering of Rs 22 billion through the accounts of his employees. “The Sharif family had made this money through corruption and extortion,” he added.

He said that Shehbaz Sharif had deposited Rs 425 million in the account of his peon. “The agencies are tracing their wrongdoings, but they are accusing me of visiting the NAB office after changing the guise,” he said.

Shahzad Akbar said that Shehbaz Sharif had opened the ‘benami’ accounts of his low-income employees. “I want to ask some questions from Shehbaz Sharif. Does Shehbaz Sharif not know Masroor Anwar and Shoaib Qamar? From where they had purchased the London flats?”

He said that the Sharif family should spend its money on the public meetings. “There is a danger of the spread of coronavirus due to congregations of the opposition,” he added.

The adviser said that the Sharif family had opposed the banking laws during the FATF legislation. “The Sharif family had formed a network in collusion with the bank employees. Their companies were not registered with the FBR and SECP,” he disclosed.

He said that the government is considering an increase in the number of accountability courts in three big cities.

Shahzad Akbar said that Prime Minister Imran Khan was supervising the steps to control price-hike. “It is hoped that the people will soon get rid of price-hike,” he added.

He said that the PPP would never resign and would not ruin its Senate election due to the PML-N. “Even of a half of the PML-N people will not resign,” he declared.
