SC directs institutions to cooperate with Panama JIT
JIT head Wajid Zia has submitted the report.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The fourth and final phase of Panama Leaks investigation has started as Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has submitted its third progress report in Supreme Court (SC) today.
Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) Additional Director General Wajid Zia, who is leading JIT, appeared before the three-member bench of SC led by Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan and presented third progress report.
Sources told that the report was being prepared in the light of thorough interrogation of Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif, Chief Minister (CM) Punjab Shehbaz Sharif and PM’s sons Hussain and Hassan Nawaz.
During the hearing, the court said that no record has been provided by Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
Justice Ejaz asked the government institutions to cooperate with JIT as there will be no good result of the investigation without the assistance of the departments.
Subsequently, the court has directed JIT to submit the final report on July 10.
Heading to the last phase, the JIT rejected Captain (r) Safdar’s application of changing the date of his hearing and directed him to appear on June 24 as per initial orders. The team will also hold interrogation with former Interior Minister Rehman Malik on June 23.
