Hasan-Hussain Nawaz counsel argument before bench

ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court of Pakistan resumed the Panama Papers case hearing on Monday.



Counsel for Hassan and Hussain Nawaz, Salman Akram Raja began his arguments before the court a little before noon on Monday, informing the court that his case has three aspects and he would be arguing on all three.

He informed the court that Hussain Nawaz was the beneficial owner of the London flats, adding that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had no connection with the London flats.

Raja argued before the court that the allegation against his client is that Hussain Nawaz is the front-man and the actual owner is Nawaz Sharif; to which Justice Ijaz Afzal remarked that Salman Akram Raja will have to prove that the assets were his client’s property and that Nawaz Sharif was not the owner of the said property.
