An accountability court in Islamabad on Friday summoned co-accused in a £190 million settlement case – Farhat Shahzadi aka Farah Gogi, ex-accountability czar Shahzad Akbar, Zulfiqar Bukhari and others – via advertisements.
Incarcerated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supremo and deposed prime minister Imran Khan is facing charges of corruption of billions of rupees in a case also involving a property tycoon. Khan – along with his wife Bushra Bibi and other PTI leaders – are facing a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) inquiry related to a settlement between the then-PTI government and the property tycoon, which reportedly caused a loss of £190 million to the national exchequer. Irked by the suspects’ prolonged absence from the court’s proceedings, the judge ordered to summon the accused via advertisements. Later, the advertisements against the co-accused in the case have been pasted outside the judicial complex. The court has ordered the co-accused in the case to appear before the court on January 6, 2024.
It is pertinent to mention here that currently, Akbar is in the United Kingdom. Last month, Akbar came under an acid attack, confirmed the UK police. In a statement, Hertfordshire police said that they were contacted by the ambulance service just before 4:45pm on November 26 of reports of an assault in Royston – around 50 miles out of London where Akbar now lives with his wife and two daughters. Gogi – a close friend of former first lady Bushra Bibi – reportedly left for Dubai on April 5 last year, say sources. Zulfiqar Bukhari had left the country after a case was registered against him in March this year.
