ISLAMABAD: The Panama case Joint Investigation Team’s (JIT) report to the Supreme Court mentioned the details of the cases against the Sharif family over the years.
The report stated that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), and Security and Exchange Commission of Pakistan forwarded the details of 32 cases to the JIT against the premier and his family.
According to the breakdown, the NAB sent details of 28 cases, whereas, the FIA and SECP forwarded two cases each.
According to the JIT report, NAB started cases against the Sharif family in 1999/2000. Four references were filed in that time period while the rest came later.
The JIT concluded that all these pending cases were weakened as NAB sat on the references for almost two decades and did not include the suspects in the investigation.
The JIT wondered whether NAB ever contacted members of the Sharif family regarding the pending cases.
The under-process investigations also include the Avenfield properties case and offshore companies. It is the ownership of the Avenfield Parklane properties that has landed the Sharif family in trouble in the Supreme Court.
