The letter said flats number 17, 17a, 16 and 16a at Avenfield House, Park Lane, London — which are now owned by the Sharif family — were registered in the names of two offshore companies and were purchased from the proceedings of the real estate business.
Later, another Qatari letter written by prince Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani was submitted by Hussain Nawaz in Supreme Court (SC) during Panama case hearing.
In the second letter, Qatari prince stated that he came to know that various questions were raised on his first letter. He said he is presenting his stance in a response to those queries.
Mian Sharif was my father’s close companion. He invested 12 million dirham cash in 1980, the letter revealed.$80 lac money was payable by Sharif family in 2005, the letter said.
For property settlement, Barrier certificates of offshore companies were handed over to the representative of Hussain Nawaz, it further disclosed.
Saqr bin Mubarak Al Mansouri said Panama case is an internal matter of Pakistan, Qatar will not interfere in that.

Mansouri told that Pakistan has asked for Qatar’s help to expand trade with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and Qatar is helping Pakistan in this regard as well.
The envoy further said that we are working with Pakistan to overcome the energy crisis, and one lac Pakistanis will be sent to Qatar to help them.=DNA
