Sharif family no longer owns properties mentioned in media report: Hussain Nawaz

LONDON: Hussain Nawaz, son of former premier Nawaz Sharif, on Tuesday said his family no longer owned the properties mentioned in a recent report published by a British newspaper.Speaking informally to journalists, Hussain said his brother Hasan Nawaz, did business involving those properties, “however, he also does not own them now”.Last week, the Daily Mail published a report about Nawaz and his sons, referring to the Avenfield properties — on which one of the references filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against the Sharif family is based.The report stated: "The family has made huge profits from other sites which have not figured in court – such as the swankiest address of all, at One Hyde Park Place, which Nawaz Sharif’s son Hasan sold for £43 million. Untangling the web of the Sharifs' British real estate portfolio is not easy. The properties are registered via a bewildering network of companies, trusts and bank accounts."Speaking of his mother who remains under treatment at a London hospital, Hussain said Begum Kulsoom's condition was more critical than earlier, adding that the doctors had increased her dose of anaesthetic given to her.He said a decision to remove his mother from ventilator had been postponed, keeping her condition in view, adding that the doctors would again review his mother's condition on Saturday.
