ISLAMABAD: Former Joint Investigation Team Incharge Wajid Zia will present before National Accountability Bureau Rawalpindi on Tuesday to record his statement in relation to the probe of Sharif family?s properties.

Federal Investigation Agency Additional Director Wajid Zia, who headed the five-member JIT made upon the Supreme Court?s orders to investigate the offshore properties of Sharifs, will present before the NAB as a witness.

On Wednesday, Wajid Zia will appear before NAB Lahore, a day after recording his statement before the institution?s Rawalpindi division.

According to sources, the NAB (Lahore and Rawalpindi) will finalise the references against the Sharif family until August 31.

The references will be sent to the NAB headquarters, where the board will scrutinise them from Sept 1-7.

Sources informed that the suggested references do not contain the statements of Sharifs and former finance minister Ishaq Dar.

The references, once finalised, will be submitted to the accountability court on August 8.

The NAB earlier on July 31, decided to file four references against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his three children, son-in-law and Ishaq Dar.

The records are required as part of the bureau?s investigation into Dar?s assets in light of the Supreme Court?s Panama papers verdict

The references would be filed under orders from the Supreme Court as part of the verdict which disqualified Nawaz from the office of prime minister. 

On Aug 25, the members of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's family challenged the apex court's July 28 verdict disqualifying Sharif and ordering corruption probes against them.
