ISLAMABAD: The questioning of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s younger son, Hassan Nawaz, by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the Panama Papers lasted for approximately seven hours on Friday.
The premier’s son reached the Federal Judicial Academy — the office of the JIT — at around 10am to record his statement and left at 5pm.
Hassan Nawaz did not speak to the media after leaving the Federal Judicial Academy.
The JIT is investigating the prime minister’s family’s global financial dealings in light of the Supreme Court’s April 20 judgment.
Strict security measures were in place in light of the premier’s son’s arrival at the venue. Hassan did not speak to the media as no one was allowed to come close to his motorcade, including his personal security staff.
The premier’s son brought with him some documents as well which he took with him.
Sources said Hassan — a businessman — recently arrived in Pakistan from London after receiving summons from the JIT.
