Moonis Elahi, son of PTI President Parvez Elahi, has been declared an absconder by a Lahore accountability court in a case related to allegations of receiving billions in kickbacks in development projects.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) accused Moonis of embezzling money in various development projects and initiated proceedings to declare him a proclaimed offender, citing his evasion of arrest and due process.

Moonis, who left the country last year amid the crackdown on the PTI, faces multiple corruption and money laundering cases registered by various agencies. The court has directed the initiation of the process to confiscate Moonis’s properties.
