Panama JIT terms Qatari prince's letter 'myth' 10:25 AM | 11 Jul, 2017ISLAMABAD - The six-member JIT has termed in its sensational report, the Sharif family’s prime defence – the ...
How the high-powered inquiry panel assumed that the documents were fake is a classic case in itself.
The 'intelligent' members of Joint Investigation Team, after having received the documents from Maryam Nawaz, forwarded the documents to a British forensic handwriting firm which revealed that the font used by the respondent in its documents had not been made available by Microsoft at the time.
Maryam while appearing before the team submitted two certified declarations regarded as 'original copy' about the Nescoll /Neilson and Coomber group, which according to her dated back to 2006.
However, when JIT approached 'The Radley Forensic Document Laboratory' the forensic expert Robert W Radley examined the documents and concluded that the font 'Calibri' in which the document was typed, was not made public by Microsoft before January 2007, though Maryam Nawaz claimed that the copies were original and from the year 2006.
What baffled the six-member inquiry panel was the conclusion of forensic team that the font was not available for commercial users before 2007, but Maryam Nawaz had managed to use the font in documents dating back to 2006.
The font fisaco emphasised the assumptions of JIT members that the documents were forged in a bid to bolster the money trail 'illegally'.

I think we're not giving @MaryamNSharif the credit she deserves for inventing the Calibri font.
