Earlier on Tuesday, the Sharif family submitted an application before the Supreme Court, seeking permission to change its counsel in the Panama Papers case.
Sources said that Makhdoom Ali Khan would be the Counsel of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif while Salman Akram Raja would represent his sons Hussain Nawaz and Hassan Nawaz. Likewise, Shahid Hamid would be the lawyer of Maryam Nawaz in the Case.
On the other hand, the PTI submitted more documents in the Supreme Court related to the Panama Papers, claiming that Maryam Nawaz was the beneficial owner of Minerva Financial Services Limited which held Nielson Enterprises Limited and Nescoll Limited.
