Islamabad
Pakistan’s Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was indicted by an anti-corruption court today, but the close aide of ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif pleaded not guilty to possessing assets beyond his means.

Dar’s indictment comes a day after the Accountability Court decided to indict Sharif on October 2 after the former prime minster for the first time appeared before it to face graft charges against him in the Panama Papers scandal. Dar was also swept up in the corruption case stemming from documents leaked from a Panama law firm.
