ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and daughter Maryam have reached the accountability court for the corruption case proceedings against them.
The two arrived from Lahore via private plane after having missed yesterday’s hearing of the Avenfield properties reference due to intemperate weather.
Nawaz’s counsel Khawaja Haris will continue his cross-examination of Wajid Zia today, who headed the Panama case joint investigation team (JIT) which probed the Sharif family assets last year.
The case, based on a reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on the Supreme Court’s directions, pertains to the Sharif family’s London apartments.
As for the last hearing on Tuesday (yesterday), the court had directed Zia to approach the Supreme Court for obtaining the JIT report’s volume X.
Zia is being cross-examined since the last few hearings after having recorded his statement earlier over several weeks.
The trial against the Sharif family had commenced on September 14, 2017.

Nawaz and sons Hussain and Hasan are accused in all three references, whereas, his daughter Maryam and son-in-law MNA Capt (retd) Safdar are accused in the Avenfield reference only.
The two brothers, residing abroad, have been escaping ever since the proceedings began last year, and were proclaimed offenders by the court.
