Court to record Nawaz's statement today.

Islamabad -- The accountability court, hearing the Al-Azizia corruption reference against Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday, ordered the prosecution to record the former prime minister's statement during the next hearing.

Prosecutor of National Accountability Bureau Wasiq Malik informed the court that the watchdog has completed presenting its evidence against the accused in the reference.

A total of 22 witnesses were produced before the accountability court since October last year, following Nawaz's indictment in the Al-Azizia/Hill Metal Establishment reference.

Copies of the Supreme Court's verdicts dated April 20 and July 28 have also been submitted in the court, the prosecutor informed.
