ISLAMABAD: Prosecution witness Wajid Zia, who headed the Joint Investigation Team which probed the Sharif family’s offshore assets, continued recording his statement in Al-Azizia reference on Friday.
Al-Azizia is the second reference behind heard in the accountability court in Islamabad. Judge Muhammad Bashir presided over the Avenfield reference hearings, and is currently hearing Zia’s statement in the second reference. Zia produced the original letter of Hamad Bin Jassim which was dated July 17, 2017, and addressed to JIT. Copies of cover letters of the Qatari prince were also produced before the court. The defence team raised objections that the documents did not bear a stamp or seal of the officials signing the said documents. Zia also produced attested copy of the response JIT received from the United Arab Emirates upon its request for Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) dated June 28, 2017. – Agencies
