TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan’s ousted premier Nawaz Sharif has said it was slowly becoming clear that the corruption cases filed against him were “baseless” as he appeared before an anti-graft court for 19th time to face trial in the graft cases linked to the Panama Papers scandal.
The 67-year-old Sharif, who was disqualified as PML-N chief by the Supreme Court on Wednesday, appeared before the Accountability Court here along with his daughter Maryam and son-in-law Mohammad Safdar, who are co-accused in one of the three cases.
The court recorded evidence of two witnesses including forensic expert Robert Radley and Raja Akhtar of the London-based firm Quist law through video-link. National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had provided their names in the supplementary evidence which the court accepted by rejecting objections of the defence team.
Radley’s recording of evidence began yesterday and was concluded today after he was cross-examined by Sharif s counsel Khawaja Harris. Akhtar also recorded his statement. Talking to reporters after the hearing, Sharif said there was nothing in the case and the statement of Radley had strengthened the argument of defence lawyers.
