ISLAMABAD: Hussain Nawaz, a son of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, misleads the nation about the London property owned by the Sharif family, Online has learnt. Hussain Nawaz had earlier told a private news channel that the Sharif family had purchased four flats in London back in 2006. However, according to documents obtained by Online, the Sharif family had taken these flats on lease in 1990s from Al-Tufeeq Company. These flats, located in the heart of London, are worth millions of pounds. Later on, the Sharif family did not pay full lease amount to Al-Tufeeq Company, which went to London High Court against Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, Abbas Sharif and Hudaibiya Paper Mills Limited. On March 16, 1999, the London court gave its verdict in favour of Al-Tufeeq Company and ordered the Sharif family to pay a penalty of 17 million dollars. The court also ordered the Sharif family to pay full amount to the applicant with additional 7.5 percent interest on payment. Earlier, UK’s top newspaper The Guardian had said in an exclusive report that the children of Pakistan’s prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, raised a £7m loan from Deutsche Bank against four flats in Park Lane in London, which are owned by offshore companies. Acquired while Sharif was in opposition, the properties were owned by British Virgin Islands shelf companies on the books of the offshore agent Mossack Fonseca, the Panama Papers show. In April 2000, after Sharif had been toppled as prime minister and put in prison by then military leader Pervez Musharraf, the country’s chief corruption prosecutor repeated the allegations, saying: “We believe the money used to buy these apartments was stolen from the people of Pakistan.” Sharif and members of his family have always denied any wrongdoing, and none have ever been convicted of any offence.
