The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in Pakistan has cleared Suleman Shehbaz, the son of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, in a Rs16 billion money laundering case. Suleman had been named in the corruption case, but his father and brother had already been acquitted. A special court in Lahore granted interim bail to Suleman in the money laundering case in December 2022, and the FIA submitted a supplementary challan stating that Suleman and his co-accused Tahir Naqvi were “not found guilty” during the hearing of Suleman’s pre-arrest bail plea. However, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced that they will challenge the acquittal in Supreme Court. The case was registered in November 2020, and arrest warrants had been issued for Suleman, but the FIA stated that they could not be executed as Suleman was not present at his address and had gone abroad.
