ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has granted permission to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to record statements of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) members who probed assets of the Sharif family.
Sources reveal Justice Ijazul Ahsan—the judge appointed by the SC to oversee NAB’s proceedings against Sharif family—after accepting NAB Islamabad’s request, wrote to the apex court last week.
Sources had earlier revealed that JIT head Wajid Zia refused to give statements to NAB, saying the investigative team was no longer effective; therefore, he would not speak about the issue until court orders were received.
It is pertinent to mention here that last week, NAB summoned Hassan and Hussain Nawaz, Maryam and her husband Captain (retd) Safdar over the London properties; however, the siblings and Safdar did not appear. They said they would only show up at the bureau after a decision is made on the review petition they filed in the apex court.
