Accountability court records testimony against Sharjeel
Karachi
April 25, 2021
An accountability court on Saturday recorded the testimony of a prosecution witness in an over-Rs5-billion graft case against former Sindh information minister Sharjeel Memon and 16 others.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) presented a witness before the accountability court-I judge in the trial against the former provincial minister and his alleged accomplices.
During the hearing, the defence lawyers pleaded to the judge to continue the proceedings on the next date as they were not yet done with cross-examining the testimony. The judge approved the request and directed NAB to present the witness on the next hearing on May 22 as well so that the defence could complete their questioning.
‘Flick, Salihamidzic can no longer work together at Bayern’
MUNICH: The relationship between Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic has broken down to such an extent that one may be forced to leave, according to club legends Lothar Matthaeus and Stefan Effenberg.
Holders Bayern face a Champions League exit in the quarter-finals, needing to overturn a 3-2 home defeat to Paris Saint Germain in Tuesday’s return leg, but pressure is also building off the pitch.
Friction between Salihamidzic and Flick, which has brewed all season, has boiled over in the last few days.
Flick refused to answer any questions about the situation before Saturday’s home league game against Union Berlin and former West Germany captain Matthaeus says the situation is untenable.
