ISLAMABAD (ENNS) Convicted former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz, have been placed on the Exit Control List (ECL), Interior Ministry sources informed media on Tuesday.
The father-daughter duo, currently in London with Nawaz’s ailing wife Kulsoom Nawaz, have announced to return to Pakistan on Friday (July 13).
Previously, the National Accountability Bureau had written three different letters to the ministry requesting the names of Nawaz and Maryam to be put on ECL in February, June, and July but to no avail.
The names of the former premier and his daughter have been put on ECL following their conviction in the Avenfield reference, sources confirmed.
However interior ministry has not yet confirmed officially of putting names of both on ECL.
DG NAB Lahore Shehzad Saleem, through his letter, requested the NAB chairman to provide a helicopter for transferring the two high-profile figures, who were recently sentenced to 11 and eight years respectively in prison in the Avenfield properties case.
