Author: Web Desk

LAHORE: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz appeared before accountability court in Islamabad on Wednesday as a hearing into three corruption references filed against the Sharifs by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) began.

The proceedings started after the NAB filed three references against Nawaz and his family in light of the Supreme Court’s July 28 judgment in the Panama Papers case.

The three references pertain to the Al-Azizia Steel Mills, offshore companies including Flagship Investment Ltd, and London’s Avenfield properties.

Talking to the media after appearing before the court, Nawaz lamented the judiciary treated PTI’s chairman with favortism, referring to his recent ‘clearance’ by the Supreme Court in the disqualification case against him as well his bail in the anti-terrorism cases against him.

Nawaz and his family members reached the court complex earlier to be present at the hearing, being conducted by Accountability Court-I Judge Mohammad Bashir.

As many as 18 hearings of Flagship Investment reference, 17 of Avenfield properties reference and 21 hearings of Azizia Steel Mills reference have been completed so far.
