LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday banned the sale, purchase and transfer of all properties belonging to Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif and his family members. In separate letters written to various departments, the anti-corruption watchdog ordered freezing of all properties owned by the former Punjab chief minister and his family members, including Hamza Shehbaz, Sulaiman Shehbaz, Nusrat Shehbaz and Tehmina Durrani. During its probe into this case, NAB arrested few suspects including Shehbaz’s son, Punjab Assembly Opposition Leader Hamza Shehbaz. Some suspects revealed that they had been doing the job for Sharif family. However, now NAB has decided to freeze his asset as Shehbaz and his family members could not satisfy its investigation team.
