Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has sought record of all bank transactions of nineteen companies and loans borrowed by the Sharif family, to be submitted today (Tuesday).
Sources told that a letter signed by JIT member Irfan Mangi has been sent to State Bank seeking details of the transactions done by the Sharif family. The details of Sharif family’s nineteen companies sought by JIT are not in the name of their children, they informed. It shows that JIT is not only taking stock of Sharif brothers but the entire Sharif family, they added.
Sources said that JIT has also sought details of loans borrowed by Sharif family during 1980, which included written off and rescheduled loans.
Meanwhile, the Joint Investigation Team, probing the Sharif family’s wealth, has hired a law firm in London to verify the already verified papers of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s children which the Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) had already accepted – without questioning their authenticity and veracity in the last five months.
The law firm has written letters to various departments asking if the papers submitted to the SCP from Hassan, Hussain and Maryam Nawaz Sharif carry genuine stamps and signatures.
The JIT’s law firm has also written letters to verify whether the papers submitted from London to the apex court – primarily the trust deed between Hussain and Maryam – is genuine and whether it carries genuine verifications.
A trust deed was executed between Maryam and Hussain in February 2006, following which she acted as a trustee for her brother.
Lawyers of Hassan and Hussain have told the SCP, through an oath form, that the trust deed between Hussain and Maryam was signed in their presence in February 2006. The SCP did not raise any objection but the JIT’s appointed law firm is now seeking confirmation about the deed and other papers.
