LAHORE:
In a recent report, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has alleged that the entire family of the PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif – including his wife, two sons and two daughters – received millions of rupees from abroad as a result of alleged money laundering.

According to the report, Shehbaz family received from abroad remittances mostly in US dollars equivalent to Rs1.59 billion. Shehbaz’s wife Nusrat received $49,680 while his son Suleman Shehbaz received $2,06,996.


Hamza Shehbaz, who is also leader of opposition in the Punjab Assembly, received the highest $2,9 85,648 from 2005 to 2012. Shehbaz Sharif’s daughter Rabia Imran was remitted an amount of $740,680 while another daughter, Javeria Ali, was remitted $283,357.

Shehbaz Sharif, who is also leader of the opposition in the National Assembly, is facing two NAB investigations. NAB, the country’s top graft buster, accuses that Shehbaz owns assets that are more than his known sources of income. It also accuses him and his family members of money laundering.
