On Monday, an accountability court in Lahore declared Moonis Elahi a proclaimed offender in a corruption case, following a request by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The case pertains to allegations of receiving kickbacks in development projects. Despite repeated calls for his arrest or cooperation in the investigation, Moonis Elahi, son of former Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi, had not complied.
Judge Naseem Ahmed Virk issued the order and initiated the process to seize Moonis Elahi’s properties.
The court has also summoned records related to his assets. Moonis, a member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, reportedly left Pakistan in December 2022 and has not returned since.
Pervaiz Elahi, Moonis’s father, is also facing multiple corruption cases.
