Senior NAB offici­al says bureau is likely to summon all the accuse­d to record their statem­ents soonISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has submitted its progress report to the Supreme Court on the ongoing investigation in the fake bank accounts case. Despite the passage of two months deadline, the bureau has been unable to conclude the investigation. The Supreme Court had in January tasked NAB with probing the case after a joint investigation team report revealed that at least 29 bank accounts identified as fake had been used for money laundering to the tune of Rs42 billion. However, a senior NAB official said that the bureau was likely to summon all the accused to record their statements soon. “We further direct that Chairman NAB shall designate a competent Director-General who shall ensure preparation and filing of references in a timely manner and follow them up till their final conclusions.
