Panama JIT gave ample time to ruling family about giving money trail: SC
Shares
Supreme Court judge Justice Ijazul Ahsan observed that the premier and his family members were uncooperative with the inquiry panel during interrogation.
“It was their policy or approach to not say anything about the properties and let the JIT find whatever it can,” he remarked.
The judge wondered what else the probe body was supposed to do when they initially gave the ruling family ample opportunity to say anything about their money trail.
He also wondered over the prime minister’s demeanour with the JIT as Nawaz did not give any reasonable reply to the questions posed by members of the inquiry panel. “In his response to one of the questions the PM said he didn’t see the Qatari letters.
This was a total denial and noncooperation,” he observed.
Regarding the JIT’s recommendation of reopening of Hudabiya Paper Mills case, Justice Ijaz said the investigation in the case was linked with the ongoing Panamagate case, therefore, the probe panel looked into the scam.
