Nawaz Sharif gets relief in another case

173

LAHORE: After securing swift relief from Pakistani courts in different corruption cases since his return from exile, former PM Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday got another one as the national anti-graft body National Accountability Bureau closed a major corruption investigation against him and his daughter Maryam Nawaz. The development comes ahead of the February 8 elections.

The investigation was launched way back in 2000 over allegations of receiving millions of rupees in funds in the Sharif Trust through illegal means.
