LAHORE: Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shehbaz on Wednesday appeared before the Federal Investigation Agency in Rs25 billion alleged money laundering probe against him and his family members.
Hamza submitted written reply to the investigation team and faced the investigators for 45 minutes. It was the second time that Hamza has appeared before the Joint Investigation Team of the FIA dealing with money laundering investigation against Shehbaz family.
It was learnt that in his statement, Hamza said that a false statement was attributed to him and was aired on media regarding his previous hearing before the FIA. He said the NAB probed the same case and could not find anything against him and family members.
“In December I was questioned by the FIA in jail. However, I am unable to understand why the agency thought about probing the matter further after the gap of six months,” Hamza added.
He alleged that FIA is handling a political case while all of his assets are already declared before the Election Commission of Pakistan and the Federal Board of the Revenue.
