Panama JIT head Wajid Zia lands in trouble

ISLAMABAD - Panama JIT head Wajid Zia lands in hot waters as the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif on Saturday moved Islamabad High Court (IHC) against him.

He has alleged Wajid Zia of alteration in prosecution statement in Al-Azizia reference case.

The plea accused Wajid Zia of changing his statement during cross-examination on Aug 30. Nawaz Sharif—in the plea—has requested court to exckude Wajid Zia’s statements recorded on Aug 30.

The plea further requests court to allow Nawaz Sharif’s legal team to cross-examine Wajid Zia again. The judge of the accountability court has also been made plaintiff in the case.

Earlier, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutor apprised the court report was submitted by the defence lawyer. He further added Nawaz Sharif—the ousted premier—received 88pc profit HME.
