The accountability court judge Arshad Malik resumed hearing of Al-Azizia reference against Nawaz Sharif filed by the NAB. During the hearing, the NAB prosecutor told the court that Rs800 million were transferred in bank account of Maryam Nawaz by Nawaz Sharif. To this, the accountability court judge said giving money to daughter is not a crime. Judge Arshad Malik asked the NAB prosecutor that who is Isma Nawaz.
