An accountability court on Friday sentenced former premier Nawaz Sharif to a total of 10 years in prison and directed him to pay a fine of £8 million after finding him guilty on different charges in the Avenfield properties case.
Judge Muhammad Bashir found Sharif guilty of accumulating assets beyond his known sources of income.
He handed out seven-year imprisonment to the former premier’s daughter Maryam Nawaz and a fine of £2 million. She has been awarded an additional one year’s imprisonment on charges of using Calibri font to fabricate Avenfield properties trust deeds.
Whereas, her husband Captain retired Safdar has been awarded one year’s imprisonment.
Here’s how Twitterites reacted to the court verdict:
Hussain Lawai = Arrested
Fawad Hassan Fawad = Arrested
Ahad Cheema = Arrested
Sharif Clan = ConvictedInteresting time to be a #Pakistani.#AvenfieldReference

So they don’t have choice but to come back. They have 10 days to file appeal. They need to surrender to file an appeal. So I’m sure they are looking at the Skyscanner for the options. Can’t be stupid enough to not come back. #CertifiedChor #AvenFieldReference

We are all for accountability but this for sure is pre-poll rigging. Widespread corruption is a systemic issue, which can never be addressed through selective accountability. The entire state apparatus needs to be democratized. #NawazSharif #MaryamNawaz #AvenfieldReference

The operative part of the judgment. The court admits establishing ownership of Avenfield flats is difficult, but says in absence of relevant documents, the presumption is that Nawaz Sharif was the true owner of the properties #AvenfieldReference https://t.co/sgHs7l65js

More than the jail terms, i am glad that Nawaz sharif & family now has to pay #Pakistan 10 million pounds (Rs 1.61 billion). Its not much but its a delicious starter.
