Director General (DG) Operations Amjad Majeed Aulakh and DG NFA Jawad Ahmad Dogar signed the MoU in the presence of Chairman NAB Lt Gen Nazir Ahmed (Retd).
Under the MoU, the bureau will refer investigative material to NFA for crime-scene investigation and scientific analysis, receiving authenticated forensic reports in return.
NFA forensic experts will provide expert testimony in Accountability Courts and other judicial forums as required to strengthen evidence-driven prosecutions.
