The appointed team will represent NAB in court proceedings concerning appeals filed by the former Prime Minister and his spouse. The case has garnered significant attention due to its political implications and the high stakes involved.
Background of the Case
The £190 million case revolves around allegations of corruption, illegal financial settlements, and misuse of authority during the tenure of the former PTI government.
