NAB closes corruption case on Pakistan-Qatar LNG deal

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has made a decision to close the corruption case concerning the LNG deal between Pakistan and Qatar in 2015. This case has been a matter of significant interest and has involved various individuals, including former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and ex-Finance Minister Miftah Ismail.

The case, which has been ongoing for a considerable period, focused on allegations of corruption in the LNG deal that took place during the tenure of Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Miftah Ismail in the government. Despite the involvement of multiple individuals, only two politicians, Abbasi and Ismail, were among the accused in this case.

While the details of NAB's decision to drop the case are not yet fully disclosed, this development marks a significant turn in the legal proceedings surrounding the controversial LNG deal. The decision to close the case raises questions about the evidence and the legal basis on which the case was pursued.

The closure of the corruption case related to the LNG deal between Pakistan and Qatar brings an end to a chapter that has been under scrutiny for years. The decision by NAB highlights the complexities and challenges in prosecuting cases of alleged corruption involving high-profile individuals. As the case comes to a close, it underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in governance and serves as a reminder of the need for robust mechanisms to address corruption effectively.
