ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has been produced before an accountability court in the federal capital as it resumes the hearing of Al-Azizia and Flagship references on Monday (today).
Sharif was transported to the court from Adiala jail amid tight security as his security convoy comprised of 10 vehicles, including an ambulance and vehicle carrying jammers.
AC-II Judge Malik Arshad will hear the cases as a witness, investigation officer Mehboob Alam, will continue recording his statement.
On Aug 7, a two-member bench of the Islamabad High Court, comprising of Justice Aamer Farooq and Justice Mian Gul Hassan Aurangzeb, allowed transfer of the Al-Azizia and Flagship Investment references to another accountability court.
The deposed premier’s counsel had filed a petition requesting the court to transfer both the references from the accountability court of Judge Muhammad Bashir to another accountability court.
Nawaz Sharif was arrested on July 13 along with his daughter Maryam Nawaz Sharif when the duo returned to the country from London. The arrest was in compliance with July 6 court order, convicting them in the Avenfield properties reference.
