Maryam Nawaz owns Mayfair Flats: Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said his party had dug out several documents which revealed that Maryam Nawaz was the actual owner of the Mayfair Flats.

“Maryam was beneficiary for two companies, and those companies owned the Mayfair flats,” he said in press conference held on Tuesday which he claimed would explain the documents PTI had submitted in the Supreme Court.

“Investigation of corruption is what institutions like the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) should be doing,” he said.

General Secretary PTI Jehangir Tareen gave a presentation over the documents saying that they had dug out a trail of emails which uncover lies of the government.

Tareen added that some of the emails were in Spanish and they translated it. "In the entire story Maryam Nawaz appears to be the owner [of offshore companies]," he said.

He said that the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had written a letter to Mossack Fonseca on June 12, 2012 where it asked six questions about Nescol and Nielsen companies. A reply was received on June 22. 

Tareen added they had an entire email trail over who wrote a letter to whom, which they could provide the media if the need arises.
