Before reaching Pakistan, Prime Minister Shahbaz’s son performed Umrah with his wife and children.
Suleman had earlier this week obtained anticipatory bail till December 13 from the Islamabad High Court (IHC). The court has restrained the authorities from making arrests till then.
Suleman went to London from Pakistan before the 2018 general elections when the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) registered several cases against him.
He was named in several cases along with his father, the current prime minister, his brother Hamza Shahbaz and other members of the Sharif family.
The Asset Recovery Unit (ARU), headed by then Prime Minister Imran Khan’s former Accountability Assistant Shahzad Akbar, Suleman was involved in Shehbaz’s money laundering in London and Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA). had investigated cases of misuse of public office.
However, he was given a clean chit after a two-year investigation by Britain’s top anti-corruption watchdog.
Suleman has claimed that he was forced to leave Pakistan after false and manipulated cases were filed against him and his family to facilitate a new political order.
He said that no one goes into exile of his own free will, leaving his homeland behind, and it is only in unjust circumstances that he was left with no option but to “leave Pakistan for safety”.
“There was no possibility of justice when an entire system was devised to bring in a hybrid system, displacing us as a family and as a political party. The whole system was based on injustice and it depended on lies, manipulation and victimization. The whole system was ready to target us using fake cases and state machinery.
He said in a statement from Madinah: “These cases were the worst example of political witchcraft and political hunting. There was no truth in the cases framed by former NAB Chairman Javed Iqbal and the National Accountability Bureau under the Asset Recovery Unit. Nor evidence of corruption.
