ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The accountability court on Thursday has granted one-day exemption to former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from appearing in the Flagship Investments reference.
During the hearing headed by Justice Muhammad Arshad Malik, Panamagate Joint Investigation Team (JIT) head Wajid Zia presented Foreign Secretary Tehmina Janjua’s letter to Supreme Court of Pakistan, in accountability court.
It is worth mentioning here that the cases against Nawaz family stemmed from the Panama Papers leak that disclosed expensive and undeclared property allegedly owned by them in London.
Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Captain Safdar were convicted and sentenced to prison for ten years, seven years and one year respectively in Avenfield verdict. However, the convictions were suspended by Islamabad High Court and they were released from Adiala jail till final decision.
