ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's cousin, Tariq Shafi, will appear once more before the Panama Papers case Joint Investigation Team (JIT) today.
Sources said the team has prepared questions to be posed to the premier's cousin, who has appeared before the JIT before.
During the hearing of the Panama Papers case, Shafi had submitted an affidavit in the Supreme Court stating that he was part of all transactions relating to the sale of Dubai properties owned by Mian Sharif ? the prime minister's father ? and transfer of that money to Qatar.
He will also be questioned regarding the Hudaibiya Paper Mills Limited.
Shafi also appeared before the team of investigators on May 16 and 17, and later alleged that he was mistreated by certain JIT members.
Meanwhile, the premier's son Hasan Nawaz has been summoned by the JIT on July 3 and his elder brother, Hussain Nawaz, on July 4. Moreover, the premier's daughter, Maryam Nawaz, is scheduled to appear before the investigators on July 5.
The summons also asked the respondents to bring forth relevant documents related to the Sharif family's financial assets.
The JIT, formed on May 5 in light of the Supreme Court's April 20 judgment in the Panama Papers case, was given 60 days to complete its probe.
However, since the original deadline was falling on a Friday, and with the JIT taking a day off on Eid, July 10 has been decided as the deadline for the JIT to submit its final report to the court's special implementation bench.
