even the professional lie to everyone for their agenda. Onus lies on the defender only If course takes a su-moto then its court against the accuser
Internationally, the burden of proof in the money laundering cases is on alleged perpetrator. In Pakistan, it is not clear. However, the way Aitzaz Ahsan stated in the program, he seemed to know the requirements to establish the money laundering crime.
I have seen a document which states:
Illicit enrichment – wealth of public officials that is manifestly out of proportion to his or her present or past official emolument – is criminalized in Bangladesh; Hong Kong, China; India; Malaysia; Nepal; Pakistan; the Philippines and Singapore. To enhance the effectiveness of this provision, India, Malaysia, Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines have shifted the burden of proof to the accused.

The only thing is, whether SC is considering this case a money laundering case or not is not clear. If it is, then SC can ask ruling family to prove that the money used in buying property was earned and transferred legitimately. When a judge said that "aap saboot dain key paisay kahan say aaye aur kaisey bhijwaey, aur phir sukoon se ghar jaein" proves that SC is considering it a money laundering case.
