*ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Deputy Prosecutor SardarMuzaffar Abbasi stated that Nawaz Sharif didn’t purchase any property underhis name and rather bought them in his children’s name.*
The Deputy Prosecutor NAB completed his concluding arguments on the fourthconsecutive day in the Avenfield properties reference in an accountabilitycourt on Friday.
Before the Accountability Judge Muhammad Bashir, who was hearing the case,NAB prosecutor said that the statements given by Nawaz Sharif and hischildren are contradictory and they have failed to present anythingsubstantial in their defence.
NAB prosecutor referred to one of Nawaz Sharif’s speeches in which hearticulated that those who buy properties through embezzlement do not keepit in their name. “This is the reason why Nawaz Sharif made all of hisassets in his children’s names,” he claimed.
While continuing his arguments in the case, Abbasi said that we havepresented all the evidence directly linking Nawaz Sharif to the actualownership of London flats.
“Sharif family couldn’t provide any proof in the court about the sourcesthrough which London properties were purchased. Hence, proving that thetestimony of all the accused related to the money trail is false,” he added.
On Thursday, Abbasi in his arguments mentioned that Calibri font was notcommercially used before year 2007. The Radley forensic report points outforgery in the documents, he said .
Nawaz Sharif had filed a request seeking exemption from June 11-15. Aftermaking a brief appearance, he was allowed to leave after staying in courtfor a short while.
The hearing of Avenfield reference has been adjourned till June 12,whereas, on June 11, the defence counsel will cross-examine Wajid Zia inAl-Azizia reference.
