ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Supreme Court said yesterday that a real estate tycoon could be in contempt of court for accusing the chief justice of turning a blind eye to his son’s alleged corruption.
Malik Riaz, one of Pakistan’s most high-profile businessmen, alleged on Tuesday that Arsalan Iftikhar, son of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, took almost $3.6 million from him in exchange for favorable verdicts in cases involving Riaz’s businesses.
Riaz has not presented any examples of such verdicts and Iftikhar denies any wrongdoing.
