Pakistan's deposed premier Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Saturday
said she and her father would return to Pakistan before the expiry of
the 10-day deadline given by an anti-graft court to file an appeal
against their sentence in a corruption case.
The Islamabad Accountability Court on Friday July 06,2018 sentenced 68-year-old Sharif to 10 years in jail for owning assets beyond income and one year for not cooperating with the anti-corruption authority, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in one of the three corruption cases against him in the Panama Papers scandal.
Maryam, considered to be Sharif's political heir, was given seven years for abetment, and one year for non-cooperation with the NAB. When reporters in London asked Maryam whether she had been informed by her lawyers that they need to surrender themselves within 10 days to get any sort of relief, she said: "We will go back before that (10 days) anyway."
