An important character in Sharif family’s money laundering case Malik Maqsood Ahmed aka Maqsood Chaprasi reportedly passed away due to cardiac arrest on Thursday.

Maqsood was found dead in his apartment in Dubai.

He was co-accused with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shehbaz in a money laundering case and was nominated after his bank account was revealed.

Earlier, the Federal Investigation Agency had started proceedings to declare Maqsood a proclaimed offender.

Former prime minister Imran Khan, on multiple occasions, brought up the name of Maqsood Chaprasi and the allegations levelled against him.
