Accountability Judge Mohammad Bashir will preside the proceeding.
During last hearing on Tuesday, Maryam’s counsel Amjad Pervez conducted cross-examination of prosecution witness Zahir Shah. And Shah, NAB’s DG Operations, was recently included as a witness by the prosecution.
The corruption references, filed against the Sharifs, pertain to the Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment, offshore companies including Flagship Investment Ltd, and Avenfield properties of London.
Nawaz and sons Hussain and Hasan are accused in all three references whereas his daughter Maryam and son-in-law Safdar are accused in the Avenfield reference only.
