Addressing media on Friday, Akbar in an indirect reference to the Sharifs said they made laws that facilitated inflow of cash without any questioning.
According to the Geo News report, Akbar said everything was working out fine for the Sharif family until their names came in the Panama Scandal in 2016.

He said one of the accounts of Maryam Nawaz received around Rs 10.7 million through telegraphic transfer and showed it as direct investment.
In 2008, transaction from the Hill Metal Establishment was done from Maryam Safdar's account, adding that he had written a letter to the relevant authorities in this regard, reported Geo News.
