The star witness in the Avanfield reference against Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday admitted that he does not have the documents to prove that Nawaz is the beneficial owner of Avanfield apartments.

Zia recorded his statement a day before and was cross examined by the counsel of Nawaz Sharif.

Khwaja Harris questioned Zia if there were any documents which proved that Nawaz currently is, or ever was, the beneficial owner of Avenfield? To this Zia replied: “We don’t have documents to show that Nawaz was the beneficial owner of Avenfield.”

“It is partially correct that we found out about the beneficial owner on the basis of two letters written in 2012 and 2017,” said Wajid Zia, adding that they came to the conclusion analysing the letters and laws of the United Kingdom.He further remarked that he has never seen original documents of registered offshore holdings.

Khwaja Haris further asked as if the Mossack Fonseca has provided him with any details which proved that Nawaz was the beneficial owner of the companies, to this, Zia said that neither they had interacted with the company directly nor they had given them any details in this regard.

He further admitted that they do not receive any documents from  BVI Attorney general which prove Nawaz as beneficial owners.  “We even do not have any documents to prove either Nawaz is the  trusty or beneficiary of London flats or he has owned or have shares in Gulf steel.”
