ISLAMABAD: After former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his sons did not appear before National Accountability Bureau investigators in Lahore on Friday, NAB Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry presided over a meeting at the headquarters.
A handout issued after the meeting did not mention the Sharif family’s cases.
According to media reports, the Sharif family claimed that it had not received a notice from NAB for appearing on Friday.
When contacted, a NAB spokesman said: “Today’s meeting was internal, in which no cases of the Sharif family came under discussion.”
He said an investigation team pursuing the cases would soon decide its line of action.
The five-member team, including an additional director, a deputy director and an assistant director, who were sent to Lahore to record the statements of Mr Sharif and his sons, returned to Islamabad in the evening.
The disqualified prime minister’s family has sought a stay from the Supreme Court of the NAB proceedings ordered in the Panama Papers case.
