Pakistan’s top anti-graft body to record Sharif’s statement in jail

A team of Pakistan’s top anti-graft body will quiz deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Kot Lakhpat Jail here on Monday over the illegal purchase and use of more than 30 bulletproof government vehicles from Germany.

According to NAB, Sharif added 20 of those 34 cars to his own motorcade, and he and his daughter Maryam Nawaz also used the vehicles for their personal use.

Former Prime Minister and a member of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s statement has already been recorded, it said.

The four-member National Accountability Bureau team has arrived at the Kot Lakhpat Jail where the 69-year-old Sharif is serving a seven-year sentence awarded to him in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption case.

The team will record the three-time prime minister’s statement in the case of an alleged import of 34 bulletproof vehicles from Germany without payment of customs duty on any of them.

The anti-graft body also said that officers associated with the foreign ministry misused their authority by allocating the bulletproof cars for the Sharif’s family.Sharif was imprisoned in Adiyala Jail and shifted to Kot Lakhpat Jail on request.
