Sharif, sons unlikely to appear before anti-corruption body

TIL Desk/World/Lahore/ Ousted Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his two sons are unlikely to appear before the country’s top anti-graft body today for interrogation in connection with money laundering and corruption cases.

Sharif, after receiving the summons, has decided not to join the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) investigation till the Supreme Court decides his review petition against the apex court’s July 28 verdict to disqualify him from office, a senior PML-N leader told.

A NAB team of 10 members reached Lahore from Rawalpindi to record the statements of Sharif and his two sons. One of the three applications filed by Sharif in the Supreme Court has called for staying “further implementation of the judgement till a decision on the review petition is taken”.

The apex court is likely to take up Sharif’s review petition early next month after the judges’ vacation. Sharif has expressed serious concerns on the NAB investigation against him and his family members, saying that it was unprecedented for a Supreme Court judge to supervise NAB proceedings against him and his family members to get a “desired result”.
