NAB summons Bilawal on 24th in fake bank accounts case

Author: Web Desk

The Nat­ional Accountability Bureau (NAB) has summoned Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari for a second time this month in the fake bank accounts and money laundering case.

According to NAB, Mr Bilawal had 25 per cent shares in a private firm, Opal-225, a joint venture of the Zardari Group. Notably, the statement issued by Chairman PPP Spokesman, Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar confirmed that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari received a notice from the NAB.

He said that the Chief Justice cleared PPP Chairman and announced him innocent in the case. “The government is targeting political opposition through NAB”, he expressed, adding that they are just trying to harass Bilawal.

The NAB headquarters had shifted the fake bank accounts and money laundering case from NAB Karachi to NAB Rawalpindi a couple of months ago.

The case involves 172 important personalities, including PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, his sister Faryal Talpur, former chief minister of Sindh Qaim Ali Shah, Anwar Siyal, Bahria Town founder Malik Riaz and others.
