Avenfield case: NAB get new documents from London

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) got new documents from London which state that the Sharif family's London apartments were transferred to the possession of offshore companies Nielson and Nescoll in 1993-1995.

The Avenfield properties were transferred to the offshore companies when both Hussain Nawaz and Hasan Nawaz were young and did not have any source of income, observed by NAB.  

Thus, they cannot be considered owners of the properties Ex Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was the real owner.

The Avenfield properties reference is among three cases filed against Nawaz and his family by NAB in 2017 on the Supreme Court's directives.

Earlier, Nawaz Sharif has repeatedly denied all the allegations against him and his family saying that companies belonged to his children.

The proceedings of the Avenfield properties case is presently under way in the accountability court of Islamabad.
