F.P. Report
ISLAMABAD: MNA Captain (retd) Safdar categorically denied any involvement in the Avenfiled properties and claiming he is not responsible of any Hasan and Hussain Nawaz deeds as many of the business dealing occurred before his marriage with Maryam Nawaz.
MNA Captain (retd) Safdar said this while recording his statement in the Avenfield reference on Wednesday in the accountability court. Nawaz Sharif and daughter Maryam have sought day-long exemption from today’s hearing.
He said that the letter by Mossack Fonseca does not concern me and it is not a primary document therefore it cannot be verified as per the law for indictment.
He remarked that if accepting the letter as evidence would be contrary to holding a free trial.
While responding to a question about the Capital FZE certificate, he said that the certificate does not concern him.
After the hearing, talking to media outside the court, Safdar was asked regarding his preparation for the case. He replied: “I have been prepared for this since the last eight months.”
Safdar started recording his statement in the case on Tuesday, however Maryam and Nawaz left the hearing early after marking their attendance.
Nawaz and Maryam have already recorded their statements in the reference.
The National Accountability Bureau has in total filed three references against the Sharif family in light of the Supreme Court’s orders in the Panama Papers case verdict of July 28.
The corruption references, filed against the Sharifs, pertain to the Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment, offshore companies including Flagship Investment Ltd, and Avenfield properties of London.
Nawaz and sons Hussain and Hasan are accused in all three references whereas his daughter Maryam and son-in-law Safdar are accused in the Avenfield reference only.
