LAHORE (92 News) – Maryam Nawaz met former premier Nawaz Sharif in Kot Lakhpat Jail on Monday.

In a long meeting, they discussed political and party matters. She had also brought meal for Nawaz Sharif from home.

Former premier Nawaz Sharif was sentenced to seven years in the Al-Azizia reference, while acquitted him in the Flagship reference.

According to the 131-page detailed judgement of the case, the court had ordered that all assets, properties, rights, receivables and interests of and in Hill Metal Establishment “stand forfeited to the federal government, which shall forthwith approach the Government of KSA [Saudi Arabia], so as to implement and give effect to the said forfeiture”.

“The known and declared sources of income of the Accused No. 1 (Nawaz Sharif) and practically of also his two sons […] are patently and grossly disproportionate to the reasonable (bare minimum) cost of setting up [Al-Azizia Steel Company Limited and Hill Metal Establishment],” reads the judgement.

The judgement also notes that Hussain Nawaz — the self-claimed sole proprietor of HME — “could have deposed on oath to […] furnish and place on record money trail so as to dislodge the presumption against Nawaz Sharif. But significantly, he has opted not to appear”.
