The reference against the two Sharif brothers and others is related to the allegedly illegal construction of a road leading to their residence in 2000, a NAB press release said. The Sharif brothers allegedly caused a loss of nearly Rs125 million to the national exchequer by illegally constructing a two-way road between Raiwind and the Sharif family residence in 2000, the statement said. The Sharif family has already been facing three references by the NAB in the aftermath of Panama case verdict in which the elder Sharif was disqualified by the apex court. The corruption references filed against the Sharif family were pertaining to the Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metals Establishment, their London properties, and over dozen offshore companies allegedly owned by the family. The anti-corruption watchdog will also file corruption references against former secretary of Sindh Labour, Nasar Hayat, and others, and WAPDA ex-chairman Tariq Hameed.
