He said that 34 persons involved in Mudharba scam have been sent behind bars while the rest of the accused have fled country who would be brought back at any cost through Interpol so that justice could prevail.
The chairman NAB said that 179 mega corruption cases will be brought to their logical end, explaining that 105 cases of mega corruption have been reached their logical conclusion. He said that white collar mega corruption cases need complete evidence, witnesses and scientific mechanism and NAB is very much aware of its responsibilities.
He further said that World Economic Forum (WEF) was satisfied with the performance of NAB as Pakistan stood at 107 on the corruption perception index of the WEF.
