Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif met his lawyers in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat jail on Saturday. During the meeting, consultation was held over the appeal against Sharif's conviction in Al-Azizia Steel Mills reference. The lawyers conferred over the significant points of the detailed verdict of accountability court in the case. Moreover; remarks given by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) were also reviewed.

PML-N sources say that no decision has yet been taken regarding filing appeal from Nawaz. On December 24, Sharif was sentenced to seven years in prison after being convicted in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption reference. The accountability court imposed Rs 3.47 billion (USD 25 million) fine on the former prime minister for failing to provide money trail, besides seizure of his assets of Al-Azizia and Hill Metal property.
