Hassan Nawaz appears before JIT for Panama Papers probe
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's younger son, Hassan Nawaz, on Friday made his first appearance before the joint investigation team (JIT) constituted by the Supreme Court to probe the Panama Papers case, DawnNews reported.
Hassan arrived at the Federal Judicial Academy, where the JIT has set up its secretariat, flanked by PML-N leaders.
A day earlier, his elder brother, Hussain Nawaz, had appeared before the JIT for the third time in five days to defend the money trail of the Sharifs' London properties.
As he emerged from the JIT secretariat, Hussain claimed that there was not an iota of evidence of any wrongdoing or illegality committed by him, his father, brother and sister.
It has not been specified what Hussain will be questioned on when he will make his fourth appearance.
In his first appearance before the JIT, Hussain had refused to answer questions put forth by the investigative body, saying that the JIT's status was 'sub judice' as he had already filed a petition before the apex court regarding two of its constituents.
Subsequently, the apex court terminated the plea filed by Hussain seeking the exclusion of the two JIT members. After each of the next two hearings, the elder son of the premier told reporters that he answered all questions put forward by the JIT.
The six-member JIT has been constituted by the apex court to examine the business dealings of the Sharif family abroad.
The apex court has also been monitoring the proceedings of the JIT on fortnightly basis.

Welcome to Pakistan. A land of opportunity.. you just need to be the right opportunist.. and its a lucky day for you !
It seems JIT so far has found nothing of importance, and hence by calling Hussein repeatedly,they want to confuse him.
JIT needs to come out of their cosy offices, and start actual investigation. visit Qatar, KSA and UK. Try to dig out the facts.
JIT is paper tiger orchestrating a drama of harassing the Sharif's who would be honourably let off due to insufficient evidence against them.
What other options does he has?
Pay back what you have siphoned from Pakistan. No other option.
Humiliation continues for the royal family.
@ajr. JIT is not supposed to collect evidence. It needs to find answers to 13 questions put forward by the supreme court.
@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad - "Does he have"!!!
When the matter is subjudice, we should avoid giving any comment. Even if it is under consideration of JIT, I would call it subjudice.
At the end of the day I think Imran will regret to open Panama as till to date nothing tangible has been proved against PM Nawaz and his family except sensational headlines, talk shows, and press coverage. PM Nawaz is quite neat and clean and will eventually emerge more neat and clean. Iqbal Hadi Zaidi / Kuwait / zaidi.formerdiplomat@hotmail.com
@Iqbal HADI ZAIDI - Some will remain in denial even when the reality hits them on the face!
@kasamali Surprisingly Hasan is younger brother, Hussain is elder one. JIT called Hussain twice only. Its not Police investigation where something needs to be "found". They are just asking questions
Mockery of justice!
@AJR Investigation mostly done in offices. Facts are not roaming around on the roads in KSA Qatar or UK so what they go for.
@kasamali I agree with you. They also need to be open minded.
@ajr Agree. And also Panama island. They should also verify the documents of ICIJ which is working on a stolen data which was massaged for one year before making it public.
I think we should support our judicial system now,the words and aggression shown by them was needed because political mafia/elite have been looting for last god knows how many years and now is the time to bring them to justice. Pls don't try to compromise SC! Govt has threatened there children! I support Supreme Court and highly appreciate there strict stance towards so called "naive" govt (PML-N)
@ajr the criminals need to prove they are innocent and bring necessary records from wherever which JIT will verify.
@kasamali "It seems JIT so far has found nothing of importance, and hence by calling Hussein repeatedly,they want to confuse him." Mind you Hussein and Hassan became billionaire businessmen during their teenage, they cannot be confused and harassed by mere public officials of grade 20 or less
One day at a time
What's the fun of investigating something out of nothing, it is clear if a person cannot produce any trail in one year what the JIT is going to get from investigations, it is all exercise in futile waste of money, time and energy which Pakistan cannot afford at this time.
God has given them enough , money ,busineess ,political power ,vote bank.dont waste ur time
@Azmeen Agree
VIP service at the cost of the public exchequer, though Panama is their private business!
In the photo who is he waving at is it a hero's welcome .
Well come and well done Hassan .Face the Git braverly and prove that you innocent and politically victimized.
JIT should also ask these boys that how they became billionaire at such a tender age may be their expertise/secret in this regard will help millions of struggling youths around the country/world
@kasamali may be they are asking about their family formula of becoming billionaire in teenage and Hussain Nawaz has been reluctant to disclose it
@Iqbal HADI ZAIDI. Is this humiliation not sufficient for Mr Clean? He doesn't have a single paper for his innocence except Qatari letter.
@kasamali you don't need to do that to this person. It's there in abundance.
@Last Word pray hard. We don't see that happening!
