NAB will record statements of JIT members

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has submitted an application requesting to first record the statements of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) members who had probed the offshore assets of the Sharif family.

The application was submitted to Justice Ijazul Ahsan, the judge appointed by the top court to oversee NAB’s proceedings against Nawaz Sharif and his family.

Sharif and his sons were summoned by the graft watchdog on Friday. However, none of Sharif family members reached the accountability bureau for recording their statements with NAB investigators.

The Sharif family has decided that they would not appear before NAB until the Supreme Court reached a decision on a review petition filed by the ousted PM against the Supreme Court judgement that disqualified him.
