LONDON: (DNA) – UK lawyers have told disqualified Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Jehangir Tareen that the Supreme Court (SC) may ask him questions about his offshore trust’s links with the Swiss accounts and banks.

According to the report, Tareen has been advised that if that happens, he will have to give a full disclosure which will end up revealing more assets and accounts. Evidence confirming the links exists already exists, as the trust deed was signed and executed in Geneva.

On December 15, the SC disqualified Jahangir Tareen from holding public office, for not being entirely truthful about the ownership of a Hyde Park property in London. The SC did not accept a single contention or argument given by him in defence of his undeclared offshore asset, £7 million house, in Newbury, ironically called “Hyde House”, the report suggests.

As opposed to the contention of Imran Khan and Jahangir Tareen that he was disqualified on “technical interpretation” of the trust, the court disqualified Tareen for “blatant misstatement before the highest judicial forum of the country”, and concluded that “Hyde House” is, in fact, owned by him.
