Islamabad (March 28, 2018): Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Mayam Nawaz on Wednesday reached the accountability court in Islamabad to attend hearing in Avanfiled apartments reference filed by NAB.
The PML-N workers welcomed the duo and raised slogans in favour of the lifetime quaid of the PML-N.
Earlier, the former prime minister reached Islamabad in a special plane along with his daughter. They left from their residence in Jati Umra for Islamabad.
The accountability court will resume the hearing of Avenfield Reference, filed by NAB authorities, today.
AC judge Muhammad Bashir will resume the hearing. Yesterday, the Federal Investigation Agency Additional Director Wajid Zia, who headed the Panama case investigation team which probed the Sharif family’s assets, finished recording his statement in the Avenfield case against the Sharif family today.

Accountability Judge Muhammad Basheer conducted the proceedings of the reference in which Nawaz, his daughter Maryam and son-in-law Capt (retd) Safdar have been indicted.
The former premier reached the accountability court earlier with his family. As Zia resumed recording his statement for the fifth time, he informed the court that Nawaz’s elder son Hussain owned the Avenfield flats from 1993 to 1996.
When Maryam’s counsel Amjad Pervez objected to the claim, Zia said Hussain had informed the JIT of the same so the fact cannot be disputed. Zia also asserted that the signed documents submitted to the JIT by Nawaz’s children were bogus.
During the hearing, NAB prosecutors also submitted a request in court to be allowed to submit the Qatari letter and two other documents as evidence. The documents include a letter from the attorney general of British Virgin Islands to Zia.
The request was accepted by the court after a brief recess. Later, as Zia concluded his statement, the hearing was adjourned until today (Wednesday), when Nawaz’s counsel Khawaja Haris will begin his cross-examination of the witness.
