ISLAMABAD: The Panama Leaks case Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has summoned Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz on July 5.
Sources suggest the premier’s elder son Hussain Nawaz has been summoned on July 4 and his younger brother Hasan on July 3.
Hussain has appeared five times before the high-profile probe team whereas Hasan has been summoned twice already.
The prime minister’s cousin, Tariq Shafi, has also been summoned to make his second appearance before the JIT on July 2.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif appeared before the JIT on June 15.
PM’s brother Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif also appeared before the JIT on June 17.
After a lapse of few days, the prime minister’s son-in-law Captain (retd) Mohammad Safdar was questioned for around five hours by the JIT.
The summons, dated June 25, 2017, has also asked the respondent to bring forth relevant documents related to the Sharif family’s financial assets.
The JIT, which resumed work today after taking a day’s break for Eid on Monday, has asked all three siblings to appear before it at 11am on their respective call dates. The JIT works out of the Federal Judicial Academy in Islamabad.
The six-member JIT is due to present its report before the apex court on July 10.
“The summons issued to Maryam Nawaz do not come as a surprise as she is the beneficiary of the Sharif family’s off-shore companies,” Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Spokesman Fawad Chaudhry said while talking to media.
