ISLAMABAD: The Joint Investigation Team (JIT), constituted by the Supreme Court in the Panama Leaks case, has summoned chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), sources confided to Geo News Tuesday.
The investigation team issued summons to Chairman NAB Qamar Zaman Chaudhry to appear before it on Wednesday (tomorrow), sources said.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s elder son Hussain Nawaz appeared before the JIT for the sixth time.
"I maintain what I had said from day one that they will find no evidence against me and family simply because it does not exist. There is no evidence against corruption, misuse of office, money laundering [against the Sharifs]," said Hussain, following his appearance before the team of investigators.
The JIT has also summoned the prime minister's daughter, Maryam Nawaz, on Wednesday. The summons, dated June 25, 2017, asked the respondent to bring forth relevant documents related to the Sharif family's financial assets.
Maryam will be the sixth member of the Sharif family to appear before the high-profile probe team, formed on May 6 in light of the Supreme Court's April 20 judgment in the Panama Papers case.
