RAWALPINDI, August 29 (TNS): Wajid Zia, chief the joint investigation team (JIT) which investigated offshore assets of Sharif family, on Tuesday recorded his statement before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in Rawalpindi.
Sources quoting officials said that statements of Sharif family members have been made part of the references after their verification by Wajid Zia.
He will now appear before anti-graft watchdog as a witness on Wednesday.
Earlier, Supreme Court’s Justice Ijazul Ahsan, who is overseeing the NAB’s reference proceedings against Sharif family, has allowed the investigators to record statements of the JIT members who probed the Panama Papers case.
NAB had given deadline to its Lahore and Rawalpindi bureaus to submit the report of their probe into the Sharif family’s offshore assets before Eid-ul-Azha holidays.
On July 28, the Supreme Court had directed NAB to prepare and present references against Sharif family within six months after it disqualified Nawaz Sharif.
One of the references is regarding Al-Azizia Steel Mill while the other two are about London flats and 16 offshore companies owned by the Sharif family.
