Pakistan court grants extension of remand on Shehbaz Sharif

Tuesday, 30 October 2018 07:00

An accountability court in Pakistan has granted an extension to the remand of PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

The leader of the opposition was arrested on 5 October over what is being called the Ashiana Housing Scam. It is alleged Sharif awarded contracts to favourites, including a Rs14 billion contract to Lahore Casa Developer.

NAB requested the court to grant a 15-day physical remand of Sharif saying that the anti-corruption body had not yet completed its investigation.

A NAB prosecutor claims the national exchequer had suffered a loss of millions of rupees due to Sharif's "illegal steps".
