A day earlier, the court had ordered the prosecution to record the former prime minister’s statement during the next hearing of the case. The order had come after National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor Wasiq Malik informed Judge Arshad Malik that the watchdog had completed presenting its evidence against the accused in the reference.
A copy of the questionnaire has also been forwarded to Special Prosecutor Akram Qureshi. “Nawaz will be asked over 100 questions,” the report said, quoting sources. “The former prime minister will be sent a copy of the questionnaire soon on the basis of which he will record his final statement,” it added.
The trial against the Sharif family commenced on September 14, 2017. The accountability court has until November 17 to wrap up the remaining two corruption references – Al-Azizia and Flagship Investments – against the Sharif family.
