JIT summons Qatari prince for second time
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistani Embassy in Qatar on Tuesday delivered another letter of the Joint Investigation Team to Qatari Prince Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al Thani.
A six-member JIT was formed in line with Supreme Court’s April 20 verdict in the Panamagate case to probe the Sharifs offshore properties.
The body has sent its second letter to the Qatari prince in a sealed envelope, sources told a local newspaper.
“It was delivered on Tuesday,” the sources added. Qatari Prince Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al Thani had come to the rescue of the ruling family during the Panamagate case hearing in the apex court. The first letter had been delivered to the Qatari prince on May 18 wherein he was asked to record his statement. Jassim al Thani had reportedly responded, saying he was willing to record his statement through a video link.
However, after the court on Monday asked the JIT to disregard the Qatari prince’s letter if he did not appear in person before them, the investigating body sent him another letter, pressing him to personally appear.
