ISLAMABAD: Smooth sailing for former prime minister and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif continues, as on Friday an accountability court in Islamabad ordered return of his assets and belongings confiscated in the Toshakhana case.
The assets and belongings were seized in 2020 after Nawaz was declared a proclaimed offender in the Toshakhana case.
Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir today directed the authorities to return vehicles of the PML-N leader and restore his accounts as his name had been cleared in the “illegally acquiring belongings from state repository” case.
The court also cancelled the orders of confiscation of the ex-prime minister’s belongings. The confiscation orders were given in October 2020.
The valuables to be returned to Sharif include his property, vehicles, bank accounts and more than 1,650 kanal agricultural land in Lahore.
Nawaz had left the country in 2019 for medical treatment abroad and lived in the UK till last month. He returned to the country and addressed a big public gathering in Lahore. In the meantime, warrants for his arrest in different corruption cases were withdrawn and he was granted bail.
