Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s elder son Hussain Nawaz on Tuesday appeared for the sixth time before a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the high-profile Panamagate graft case against his family.

Hussain Nawaz arrived at the Federal Judicial Academy (FJA) and was questioned by the JIT set up by the Supreme Court.

As the JIT deadline of July 10 approaches, two members of the six-member JIT on Tuesday left for Qatar to record the statement of prince Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani.

Irfan Naeem Mangi from the National Accountability Bureau and Brigardier Kamran Khurshid from Military Intelligence departed for Doha early this morning on Qatar Airways flight, the Dawn reported.

The Qatari prince had written two letters to Supreme Court in which he said that late Muhammad Shairf, father of Nawaz Sharif, had invested 12 million dirham in the real estate business of royal family.
