ISLAMABAD: Azam Khan, the principal secretary to former prime minister Imran Khan, appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday to record a statement in the 190 million pound Al-Qadir Trust case.
Mr Azam, who served with the ex-prime minister for over three years, recorded his statement before a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) at NAB Rawalpindi’s office.
There was no official word about Mr Azam’s appearance before NAB, but sources confirmed that he had come to record a statement.
The appearance came two days after his alleged confession that the ex-PM retained the original cipher — sent by the Pakistan ambassador in the US and the document at the heart of the cipher probe — and didn’t return it despite repeated requests.
