NAB team to soon leave for London to further investigate Panama Leaks case

LAHORE: A team of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore will leave for London this week for further investigation into Panama Leaks case, ARY News reported.

NAB headquarters has given green light to a three-member team to proceed towards London to further probe in Panama Leaks case against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his children.

Sources said the NAB team will record statement of a key witness in Avenfield apartment case against the Sharif family and the witness will also provide relevant important documents to the team. They said it would be a great achievement, if the NAB team succeeds in their goal.

This

should be noted that an accountability court has fixed Oct 13 for indictment of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law retired Captain Muhammad Safdar in graft references.

Sharif and his sons have been nominated in all three references, while Maryam and her husband have been named only in a reference related to the family’s London flats.

A five member bench of the Supreme Court on July 28 had disqualified former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and directed NAB to file references against him and his family members within six weeks and directed the accountability court to decide the references within six months.
