ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam has been summoned to appear before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in connection with the Panama Papers probe into the family assets. The JIT has asked Maryam to appear before it. The 43 year old is currently in London, attending her son's graduation ceremony.
PM Sharif appeared before the JIT on June 15, becoming the first sitting Pakistani Prime Minister to appear before a probe team. The JIT had also asked his sons Hassan and Hussain Nawaz to appear before it for further questioning. The six-member JIT is due to present its report to the apex court on July 10.
The Supreme Court, in its judgement of April 20 in the Panama Papers case, had constituted the JIT, giving it power to summon the PM, his family members, and any other person related, to investigate allegations of money laundering. The Sharifs are accused of having purchased four apartments in London's Park Lane area, through money laundering.
