Background

On Monday, Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz were given a two-day exemption from appearing in the court and ordered to ensure their presence in court when the verdict is read out today.

The court had also declared Hassan and Hussain Nawaz proclaimed offender in the same reference.

Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz have been in London since June 14 to look after Kulsoom Nawaz, who is under intensive care there.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has requested the Accountability Court to delay the verdict in the Avenfield reference “for a few days only” as he wants to hear it in person.

Nawaz and his family are facing three corruption cases in the accountability court after the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) filed references against them in the light of the Supreme Court's verdict in the Panama Papers case last year.

Aaj maza aaya hai khabrain sunne ka

Nawaz Sharif 10 years + 8 million pound fine

Maryam baby aham bibi 7 years + 2 million pound fine

Safdar 1 year in prison

Their avenfield apartments ordered to be confiscated

I wish to hear similar punishment for Zardari one day if ever proved

Nothing will happen. Just political drama. This system is f*****up. Sharif will be in power again in next election.


Unless looted money brought back to Pakistan this news is waste of time.

 

[war&peace]

It is better than nothing but I wished a lot more. A new history has been made so this will be remembered forever. Finally the corrupt goon has been punished on pure corruption charges after a painful wait of more than a year. Mubarak to the whole nation, to PTI and IK. This is a day to rejoice...a very nice day here...Enjoy and distributes sweets and congratulate everyone

harsh punishment

No body asked you

 

[hazzam]

Others should also get punishment.There were 405 cases reported in Panama leaks.

 

[Norwegian]

As pakistan is a islamic country , can they buy their way out as in the blood money offered to relatives in case of murder ?

Pakistan is not Islamic country

If Raiwand house is save then they got away. Pakistan will never get London flats back. Weird judgement because anything can happen in Pakistan.

Its about time NAB started asking for origin of funds invested in DHA, Bahria etc I bet good part of them are from corruption money.

Raiwaind belong to Godfathers mother

I see the resident patwaris are still defending these thieves. When will you wake up?

Never. That's why they are called patwaris

Others should also get punishment.There were 405 cases reported in Panama leaks.

Sure but let's focus on the Godfather

Nothing will happen. Just political drama. This system is f*****up. Sharif will be in power again in next election.


Unless looted money brought back to Pakistan this news is waste of time.

He is disqualified for life

 

[Kabira]

What are the chances that it can be reviewed, finally President is his own colleague? I am 200% sure he will get the bail.

Exactly, if their Pakistani properties and business is save then they got away. President will pardon them.

 

[Unite & Defend]

Pakistanians stop with the glass is half empty thinking, this is a good day. Onwards and upwards for Pakistan. IN SHA ALLAH

Pakistani properties are not worth the effort

Pakistanians stop with the glass is half empty thinking, this is a good day. Onwards and upwards for Pakistan. IN SHA ALLAH

Patwaris are crying, everyone else is happy

 

[Kabira]

Pakistani properties are not worth the effort

And London flats are out of reach for Pakistan.

 

[Norwegian]

And London flats are out of reach for Pakistan.

They are not. Pakistani authorities can contact UK and seize the properties

 

[koolio]

No doubt yet again this is a devastating verdict for the Godfather family, Godfather and Daku Rani political career is finished.

 

[PakSword]

They are not. Pakistani authorities can contact UK and seize the properties

Yes, if a serious effort is put, the properties can be obtained.. This family purchased the properties when they were still Pakistani citizens.. anyway, properties are still under Maryam's ownership, as court accepted the docs provided by FIA UK..

 

[Sine Nomine]

Fall of not so shareef Family. This is Pakistan no one gets away after looting this country
