Nawaz Sharif’s daughter, son-in-law get bail in Panama Papers case

The daughter and son-in-law of ousted Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif were on Monday granted bail by the country’s anti-graft court in the Panama Papers scandal as they appeared before it following their return from London.

Maryam Nawaz, 43, along with her spouse, former army captain Muhammad Safdar, returned to the country late last night to appear in the Accountability Court. Safdar was arrested on his arrival as the court had issued non-bailable arrest warrant against him.

Both separately appeared in the court of Judge Muhammad Bashir.

Sharif and his two sons were absent during the hearing as they are in London to attend his wife Kulsoom who is battling throat cancer. Sharif had attended the previous two hearings but flew to London last week to see his ailing wife, who underwent a third surgery.

The court accepted the bail applications of Maryam and Safdar and postponed the hearing till October 13, according to court officials.

Sharif’s lawyer Khawaja Harris asked the court to adjourn hearing for 15 days with commitment that Sharif would also appear. The court rejected the plea announced that it will indict the accused during the next hearing.

The court also ordered to start the process of declaring Sharif’s sons – Husain and Hasan – proclaimed offender as they have failed to appear before it so far. The court also decided to conduct separate trials of Husain and Hasan from Sharif and his daughter and son-in-law.

Maryam, who is being groomed as Sharif’s political successor, appeared in the court for the first time on Monday. She was ordered to submit a surety bond of Rs 50,000 against a non-bailable arrest warrant against her.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) lawyers asked the court to send Safdar to jail on judicial remand but the court granted him bail and ordered him to pay Rs 50,000 for surety bonds. The court also asked him to seek its permission before going abroad and rejected the NAB request to confiscate his passport.

Both Maryam and Safdar have been charged by the NAB in one of three corruption cases filed on September 8 against Sharif. Maryam criticised the arrest of her husband and said he was taken into custody despite the fact that he had come back to face the case.

“Those who want to appear by free will are arrested from airport, but we are not afraid of it,” she said. Referring to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan who has refused to appear in several cases, Maryam said that the “absconders are free and hold public meetings”.

She also criticised the judges for disqualifying her father in the Panama Papers case.

“Questions will be asked if the cases which started with Panama ended with Iqama (Job contract). The judges would have to answer it,” she said referring to dismissal of Sharif for non-declaration of his salary from his son’s company in the UAE. “Those who sent home representative of 20 crore people should also be brought to justice,” she said.
