Pakistan: Nawaz Sharif, sons unlikely to appear before NAB today

In Pakistan, former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif and his two sons will not appear before the National Acco­untability Bureau’s (NAB) Lahore office today to join investigation into the Al-Azizia Steel Mills case.

According to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) insiders, Mr Sharif after discussing the matter with close aides and his legal team has decided to not join the NAB investigations till the Sup­reme Court decides his review petition against the apex court’s July 28 verdict to disqualify him from office.

Earlier this week, Mr Sharif had filed three petitions in the Supreme Court to review and stay further implementation of the Panama Papers case verdict which had resulted in his disqualification.

NAB has summoned Nawaz Sharif and his two sons to appear before it today for interrogation in connection with the money laundering and corruption cases.
