[GEO.TV] In a major relief, an accountability court in Islamabad on Friday ordered to unseize properties, vehicles, and bank accounts owned by Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif
 ...served two three non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts...
in the Toshakhana reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
Last month, the same accountability court judge had suspended the arrest warrant of the three-time former prime minister — who returned to the country on October 21 after ending a four-year self-imposed exile in London — in the Toshakhana case after the NAB prosecutor raised no objections.
At the outset of today’s hearing, accountability court judge Muhammad Bashir ordered the authorities to return Nawaz’s seized properties, and vehicles and unfreeze his accounts.
In 2020, an accountability court ordered the confiscation of the property owned by the former prime minister in the Toshakhana vehicles reference after he was declared an absconder by the Islamabad High Court.
The property includes a 1,650-kanal agricultural land in Lahore, a Mercedes, a Land Cruiser, two tractors, local and foreign bank accounts, a bungalow in Murree, and 102-kanal land in Sheikhupura.
