ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has written a letter to the Foreign Office asking it to ensure the serving of the summons to the Sharif family by September 22—Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, Hussain, Hassan and Capt (retd) Safdar.
Sources in NAB, on anonymity, informed that the bureau has become active to summon the Sharif family after rebukes from the accountability court. They said NAB’s International Coordination Wing has asked the FO to get the service of summons done by September 22, 2017.
After the summons is served to the Sharifs in person and still they do not appear before the accountability court on September 26, then bailable arrest warrants will be issued, sources said.
As the Sharif family is in London currently so the summons was forwarded to NAB’s International Coordination Wing.
It is also learnt that NAB has no address to get the service of summons done from Hassan and Hussain Nawaz. However, NAB will present a report about the service of summons before the accountability court on September 26.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has decided to face the corruption references by appearing before the court and he has also informed the Sharif family about his decision.
It is worth mentioning that Shahbaz Sharif and some close friends of Sharif family have been trying to convince Nawaz Sharif to appear before the court while Maryam Nawaz and her aides are against it.
