Shehbaz Sharif, the President of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), said that he has 'decided to file a law suit against Daily Mail' newspaper after the British tabloid published an investigative report allegedly revealing that he and his family were involved in money-laundering in the UK.
"Have decided to file law suit against Daily Mail. The fabricated and misleading story was published at the behest of (Pakistan Prime Minister) Imran Khan and Shahzad Akbar," Sharif posted on Twitter on Sunday.
"We will also launch legal proceedings against them. Btw IK (Khan) has yet to respond to three such cases I filed against him for defamation."
Akbar is the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Accountability, Geo News reported.

Btw IK has yet to respond to three such cases I filed against him for defamation.In a report earlier on Sunday, the Daily Mail said that the UK's Department for International Development (DIFD) had given Sharif and his government taxpayers' cash and that he and his family were embezzling tens of millions of pounds of public money and laundering it to Britain.

This DFID "rebuttal" of my story about Shahbaz Sharif is nothing of the kind. It merely repeats their statement quoted in the article, and claims the piece contains no evidence about the earthquake fund. Read it. It does. Poor show. More wasted cash! https://t.co/gHiAvF8w0fThe high-level probe was ordered by Khan after he came into power last year, the newspaper added.
