The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) filed a reference in the £190 million settlement case on Friday, officially nominating former prime minister Imran Khan as accused in the case.
A total of eight people have been nominated in the case. Others besides Imran include:
- His wife.
- Bushra Bibi.
- Her friend Farhat Shahzadi, aka Farah Gogi.
- PTI leader Zulfi Bukhari.
- Former accountability czar Shahzad Akbar and Barrister Zia-ul-Mustafa Naseem.
The reference comes as the anti-graft buster concludes its investigation with the court sending the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief on judicial remand.
Hearing the case earlier this week, on November 27, 2023, accountability court judge Muhammad Bashir rejected NAB’s request for extending Imran’s physical remand in the case.
The court, instead, sent the PTI chairman on a 14-day judicial remand.
At the previous hearing on November 24, 2023, the judge instructed NAB to conclude its investigation and present a report.
