Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Monday submitted 'documentary evidence' with a view to substantiating its claim against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over his alleged involvement in the Panama Leaks. A five-member larger bench led by the Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali will take up various applications, including the Chairman PTI Imran Khan's, on November 15 (today), seeking the accountability of Prime Minister Sharif and his family members on the ground of their involvement in the offshore companies.
Filing a 686-page additional 'evidence' in the institution branch through Advocate on Record Chaudhry Akhtar Ali on Monday, the PTI claimed that the Sharif family is involved in laundering Rs 145,056 million through illegal means of Hawala/Hundi. The documents revealed that well-known Hawala dealers of Peshawar, namely Khaista Khan and Jamshed Khan, were used to siphon off a substantial amount of Sharif family through bank accounts of dealers maintained in Peshawar.
It added that the money was sent from Pakistan to the Bank of Oman in the United Arab Emirates and elsewhere. The money was exchanged into foreign currency and re-transaction was made in the names of 43 Sharif family members. Citing an 'authentic' record provided by the Bank of Oman to the State Bank of Pakistan with details and names of the Sharif family, the PTI submitted a list as primary document in the case including the names of Sabiha Abbas, Abbas Sharif, Nusrat Shahbaz, Mohammad Abbas, Shamin Akhtar, Sadar Begum, Tariq Shafi, Naseem Tariq, Javed Shafi, Kaukab Javed, Zahid Shafi, Farzana Zahid, Pervaiz Shafi, Khalida Pervaiz, Shahid Shafi, Samreen Shahid, Bano Begum, Riaz Miraj, Yasmin Riaz, Ilyas Miraj, Shehzadi Ilyas, Ijaz Miraj, Hanifa Begum, Yahya Siraj, Neelofar Yahya, Khalid Siraj, Rehana Khalid, Farrukh Siraj, Shamin Begum, Farooq Barkat, Azmat Farooq, Iqbal Barkat, Abida Iqbal, Hassan Barkat, Hussain Barkat, Maqsooda Begum, Yousaf Aziz, Kausar Yusaf, Aslam Bashir, Farruh Aslam, Idrees Bashir, Mahmoona Idrees and Mohammad Tayyab.
Through another document, the PTI claimed the Sharif family started building up their complexes rapidly during the era of Nawaz Sharif as Finance Minister in 1985 and Chief Minister of the province up to 1990. The document about details of units of the Sharif family described that mother company of the group was nationalised in 1972 and it was subsequently denationalised and handed over to the group in June 1979 with liabilities of Rs 83.4 million, waived off by General Ziaul Haq.
