He said that the committee will address the questions being raised about the Broadsheet, a UK-based firm hired by Pakistan to trace the assets of Pakistanis in 2000.
Broadsheet CEO Kaveh Mousavi in an interview with a YouTube channel had said that he was offered a bribe to drop probe against assets of Sharif family.
