Musharraf treason tribunal orders re-investigation

November 27, 2015 20:44

A special Pakistani court holding the treason trial of ex-military ruler Pervez Musharraf for allegedly subverting the Constitution in 2007 today ordered re-investigation into the case.

The court also tasked the Federal Investigation Agency to complete the investigation by December 17 and report it. It also rejected a plea by Musharraf's lawyer, Farogh Nasim, to include investigators from army-run intelligence agencies in the team tasked to carry out the fresh probe.

After sweeping to power in 2013, the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz constituted a three-member special court to try Musharraf for allegedly subverting the Constitution in November 2007.

A three-member special court started trial on the case in December 2013 on behalf of the federal government when he was president of the country.
