PM Assistant Zulfi Bukhari gets clean chit from the NAB Authorities

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Assistant Zulfi Bukhari gets clean chit from the NAB Authorities.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) ended on Monday its probe against Special Assistant to the PM for Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, Zulfikar (Zulfi) Bukhari.

The decision came after a session of the NAB Executive Board under Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal.

After the meeting, a press release stated that the probe body has decided to end the investigation against the prime minister’s aide due to lack of evidence.

During the session, the chairman NAB said the priority of the authority is to ensure the mega corruption cases reach their logical end.

In March 2018, the NAB began its investigation against Bukhari NAB pertaining to offshore companies.

In February, the anti-graft body sent a notice to Bukhari to appear before it and explain facts about his offshore companies which have been used to buy dozens of expensive commercial properties in London’s expensive zone.
