He told the court: "My name is Serena Issa on the identity card. My computerized ID card was created in 2003. The second card was made when the first card was overdue.
"I have a Spanish passport because my mother was from Spain. I was accused of having a double identity when in fact it was not. Serena in Spanish and Zarina in Urdu were considered dual identities.
I was married on December 25, 1980. After 21 years of marriage, I bought a property in London.
Little did I know in 1983 that I would buy a property in London 21 years later. She kept wiping her tears while giving details of the properties.
Explaining the details of the property, Serena Issa said that the first property was purchased in the UK in 2004 and a passport was accepted for the purchase of the property in the UK.
She said she had been working at an American school in Karachi and Rehan Naqvi was her tax lawyer.
"Upon submission of the statement, the government issued him a tax certificate, and his tax record was transferred from Karachi to Islamabad, but the FBR did not tell him anything about the transfer of records."
He added that he bought a property in Clifton Block 4 but sold some of Clifton's property. Property purchased in Shah Latif was also sold.
"My agricultural land is in my own name. The agricultural land does not belong to my husband because the agricultural land came from my father."
He said that agricultural land is in the Jacobabad district of Sindh. Dera Murad Jamali also has agricultural land in Balochistan. His tax lawyer, Rehan Naqvi, advised that agricultural income was not taxable.
"My father used to look after the agricultural land," he said. Lawyer Rehan Naqvi advised him to open a foreign currency account.
Serena Issa told the court that she would not misrepresent. The government knows about their land.
He also showed the record of the foreign currency account on the video link and said that since the banks do not have ten-year-old records, they have faced great difficulties in getting these records.
From 2003 to 2013, the money went out of that account. The money was sent to London from a bank account and the money went out in the name of Serena Issa

He added that property was bought for 6 236,000. Seven million pounds was transferred to Standard Chartered Bank's foreign currency accounts.
"All the documents I have shown are genuine."
He said he was given limited time. According to Serena Issa, the London account is also in her name.
He said a third property was bought in 2013 for 5 245,000 and his son lives in the property. Bought another کی 270,000 property in his and his daughter's name.
He clarified that this property is not in the name of my husband but in the name of me and my daughter.
When he stopped working at the American school, lawyer Rehan Naqvi suggested that the income was not taxable, now the law has changed.
Therefore, they have rented out two properties and the son lives in the third property. "That is why I am no longer paying income tax in Pakistan and the UK," he said.
Serena Isa said the allegations have been going on for 13 months and no one has asked me anything and why not? Has been collecting documents like crazy for the last 13 months.
"This case would not have arisen if my husband had not been a judge because I am not being treated like a normal citizen," she said.
At the end of the hearing, Justice Omar Ata Bandial said, "The way you have presented the whole case today, you have presented the case just like any expert lawyer." The bravery and enthusiasm with which you have presented your financial affairs prove that you have all the records. And you are a brave woman.
Following the completion of the arguments of Barrister Forough Naseem and the statement of Justice Qazi Faiz Issa, the hearing has been adjourned till 9:30 am on Friday, June 19 in which Munir A Malik Qazi Faiz Issa's counsel will give counter-arguments.
