Khan pleaded not guilty on behalf of Sharif, who is currently in London tending to his ailing wife Kulsoom Nawaz undergoing cancer treatment. It was one of the three cases of corruption and money laundering against Sharif registered by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on September 8 in the light of Supreme Court orders in the Panama Papers case. The apex court had disqualified Sharif from holding office on July 28. Sharif has now been charged in all the three corruption cases filed against him. The Sharif family pleaded not guilty to the charges, claiming that they were denied the fundamental right to a fair trial.
