The accountability court here in Islamabad ordered the seizure of vehicles of former president Asif Ali Zardari and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in Toshakhana case.
The accountability court has endorsed request of National Accountability Bureau to confiscate vehicles of Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan Muslim League-N supremo Nawaz Sharif.
The court has frozen the ownership of Asif Zardari’s three vehicles including two BMW and one Lexus car. The ownership of one Mercedes owned by Nawaz Sharif was also seized by the accountability court.
On Aug 17, an accountability court ruled that former president Asif Ali Zardari and former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gillani will be indicted in the Toshakhana reference on Sept 9. Accountability Judge Asghar Ali halted the process to declare former prime minister Nawaz Sharif a proclaimed offender over his perpetual absence from the court’s proceedings in the case until Aug 25 after he was informed that the PML-N supreme leader’s arrest warrants have been challenged in the IHC.
