Panama Papers case verdict today
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Supreme Court will announce its verdict on the ‘Panamagate’ case on Friday, according to the court registrar.
The verdict will be announced at 11.30 am. The case involves PM Nawaz Sharif and his children, who have been accused of holding offshore assets and shell companies.
Last week, a three-member special SC bench headed by justice Ejaz Afzal Khan heard the case.
While two judges of a five-member bench had recommended disqualification of Sharif in their April 20 judgment, three judges had recommended formation of joint investigation team to probe the charges.
The six-member JIT submitted its report on July 10, finding the family guilty of perjury, tampering documents and concealing sources of income.
The original five-member bench, which had heard the case before the formation of the JIT, will issue the final verdict.
