Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz will be arrested on their arrival at any airport in Pakistan as they have been convicted in a corruption case, Law Minister Ali Zafar said on Monday.
Maryam on Sunday shared her flight details with mediapersons. She said she will reach at Lahore airport on Friday at 6.15 p.m. by Ittehad Airways’ flight EY-243.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has also announced that it will arrest the two on their arrival in Lahore on Friday. “On the announcement of the Sharif family that Nawaz and Maryam are arriving in Lahore on Friday at 6.15 p.m. we have written to the Punjab government to coordinate with NAB for their arrest at the airport,” said an NAB official on Monday. He said the NAB would not allow Sharif to lead a rally. “We will make sure that Sharif and Maryam do not leave the airport and are arrested there,” he said.
The accountability court last week sentenced Sharif and Maryam respectively to 10 years and seven years of rigorous imprisonment in the Avenfield properties corruption case.
