For the third consecutive time, ousted Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his sons today failed to appear before the country's top anti-graft body which is to interrogate them over the money laundering and corruption charges revealed by the Panama Papers.


The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had issued summons to Sharif and his sons -- Hussain and Hasan, daughter Maryam, son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar and finance minister Ishaq Dar -- to interrogate them in its Lahore office in connection with their offshore properties revealed by the Panama Papers case.


The watchdog, irked over the Sharif family's non- cooperation, was considering writing to the interior ministry to place their names on the Exist Control List (ECL), stopping them from leaving the country.
