November 10, 2017
ISLAMABAD, Nov 10 (INP) A special court of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Friday dismissed former Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) chairman Zafar Hijazi's acquittal plea in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills record tampering case. The court indicted Hijazi on October 27 for tampering with records related to the Sharif family's sugar mills by pressuring his subordinates to change dates on documents pertaining to the mills. Hijazi pleaded not guilty, as his lawyer argued that statements taken from an SECP employee were not sufficient to run a trial on , a view that the prosecutor opposed. INP/AH
