TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan’s imprisoned former prime minister Nawaz Sharif yesterday again appeared before an anti-corruption court in the remaining two graft cases against him and his family, a media report said. The 68-year-old PML-N leader appeared before the court as accountability court II Judge Mohammad Arshad Malik resumed hearing of Al-Azizia and Flagship Investment cases.
Sharif’s counsel Khawaja Harris cross-questioned Panamagate Joint Investigation Team (JIT) head and prosecution’s witness Wajid Zia, the report said. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ordered the accountability court to conclude the remaining two corruption cases against deposed prime minister Sharif and his family within the next six weeks.
Judge Malik had submitted a written request to the Supreme Court seeking an extension to conclude the Al-Azizia and Flagship Investment cases. The court also directed accountability judge Malik to submit a progress report of the case to the apex court on a weekly basis.
Sharif, along with his daughter Maryam, 44 and son-in-law Capt (retd) Muhammad Safdar, 54, are already serving jail terms of 10-years, seven years and one year respectively in the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, after the accountability court convicted them on July 6 over the family’s ownership of four luxury flats in London through illegal means.
