A Pakistani court has suspended arrest warrants against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's daughter and son-in-law in a corruption case, citing the right to a free and fair trial.
The Accountability Court in Lahore suspended the warrants against Rabia Imran and Imran Ali Yousaf in the Punjab Saaf Pani Company mega corruption case, allowing them to return to Pakistan and face trial.
They had fled to the UK in 2022 and were declared proclaimed offenders, but now they want to surrender and face the trial.
The National Accountability Bureau, the anti-graft body, had no objection to the court's decision.
Prime Minister Shehbaz was also named in the case but was acquitted due to a lack of evidence.
