LAHORE Aug 22 (TNS): The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has summoned former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, sons Hasan, Hussain and daughter Maryam Nawaz today as part of the probe into their offshore properties.
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has also been summoned by the bureau in the money-laundering probe. Members of the Sharif family have failed to appear before NAB twice before. The Sharifs were to appear in NAB Lahore on early Sunday but did not show up.
According to sources, the six-member team of NAB Lahore was waiting for Sharifs to question them over the London properties on Sunday. The team headed by NAB Lahore Director General Shehzad Saleem had summoned Nawaz’ children and his son-in-law MNA Captain (retd) Safdar by 2pm.
NAB sources earlier had said another notice would be issued to the Sharif family members, adding that they will inform the Supreme Court in case they did not appear before them.
The law suggests that three notices be issued with a gap of 15 days for each, sources added. As of yet, 21 days are left for the bureau to file references in the Panama case.
