Hussain Nawaz appears before JIT along with lawyer

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif son Hussain Nawaz was summoned to appear before the Joint Investigation Team on Sunday.

Son of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Sunday appeared before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT), probing offshore properties of ruling family in line with Supreme Court’s Panamagate verdict.

Talking to media upon arrival outside the Federal Judicial Academy, where the JIT is conducting hearings, Hussain said I am comfortable and my lawyer is with me. ‘The JIT sent me notice yesterday without any details and questions to be asked during the proceedings.’

Although, Hussain left soon after the two-hour long session, sources said that he was allowed to appear along with his counsel.

Several PML-N leaders including Tariq Fazal, Hanif Abbasi, Danyal Aziz, Islamabad Mayor Sheikh Ansar and others were present at the occasion to show solidarity with the PM’s son.

In order to interrogate, the JIT has drawn up list of questions, mostly regarding tax returns of London flats.
