ISLAMABAD: An accountability court resumed today the hearing of Avenfield case against former premier Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law retired Captain Safdar.

Judge Muhammad Bashir is presiding over the trial proceedings in the federal capital. Sharif, his daughter and son-in-law were in attendance in the court.

Lead counsel of the Sharif family, Khawaja Haris, resumed cross-examination of Panama Papers JIT head Wajid Zia.

– Cross-examination –

At the outset, NAB prosecutor Sardar Muzaffar objected that the defence counsel has been cross-examining the witness about the admitted facts of the case for three days.

The accused person had already accepted documents about Capital FZE chairmanship, and an Iqama, whereas he didn’t admit to having received a salary from the company, he said.

The prosecutor said the counsel couldn’t pose questions about such admitted facts.

Upon this, Haris asked why did the NAB incorporated the documents about Capital FZE in the case. He said he will not ask questions about the documents, if these are not made part of the proceedings.
