LAHORE: An accountability court on Monday declared Salman Shehbaz a proclaimed absconder due to his failure to appear before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). A NAB prosecutor informed the court that Salman was summoned regarding an inquiry into money laundering and possession of assets beyond known sources of income. He further apprised court that Salman was reluctant to cooperate in an inquiry related to Chaudhry Sugar Mills. Prosecutor also informed the court that Salman has left Pakistan and so all his properties, both movable and immovable, have already been confiscated. In the previous month, the court was informed that NAB issued six notices to Salman but he didn’t respond to any of them.
