Court orders former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif to surrender in corruption case

Pakistan government has vowed to bring back ousted former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, asserting that it won’t be "blackmailed to let go off" because of FATF legislation.

Pakistan adamant to bring back ousted Ex-PM Nawaz Sharif from London

The Pakistan government is pulling its heaviest punch against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

Imran Khan-led government has decided to move the UK authorities seeking deportation of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who is currently in London for medical treatment.

The decision comes a week after the Punjab government refused to extend bail to Nawaz Sharif, saying that there is no legal, moral or medical ground to let him stay any longer in London.

The government says, "Sharif is enjoying a lavish lifestyle in London while corruption cases and jail sentences await him in Pakistan."

Accusing the media of being part of the Sharif nexus is most shocking. The government did not like it that a section of the media took Sharif's side, saying, "A criminal or not, he must be allowed to seek treatment in London on humanitarian grounds."

But, accusing the media of being part of the sharif nexus is most shocking.&nbsp;

Imran khan's political animosity with Sharif is quickly turning into a witch hunt and mutual political appreciation has turned to personal detestation.

All things aside, Imran Khan today desperately wants to see Nawaz Sharif behind bars. The authorities are still raiding his properties in Pakistan with the most recent one being carried out two weeks ago.

Nawaz Sharif's problems started in 2016 after the Panama papers scandal. The leaked documents showed Sharif's family holding millions of dollars worth of property and companies in the UK and around the world.

In 2018, after a 15-month-long trial, Pakistan's Supreme Court barred Nawaz Sharif from holding public office for life. Later, an anti-corruption court sentenced him to 10 years in prison in the money laundering case.

After sharif's repeated requests, in October last year, the Islamabad court took cognizance of his medical condition and granted bail.&nbsp;Sharif left for London in November, 2019.

Now, the Tehreek e Insaf-led government wants him to return.&nbsp;

Government spokespersons have been freely using the word 'absconder', but the court is yet to declare Sharif an absconder. It allows Imran Khan to put Sharif in a spot, pointing a finger at his unwillingness to return as a sign of guilt.

Sharif's party, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN), has been accusing the Pakistan government ministers of playing politics over his health.

Nawaz Sharif has been Prime Minister of Pakistan three times and been removed from the office each time.&nbsp;

Sharif was most recently ousted as prime minister by Pakistan's Supreme Court in 2017, for being 'dishonest'&nbsp;by failing to report a monthly income of 10,000 Emirati dirhams ($2,723) from a company owned by his son.

Nawaz Sharif critical? Picture in London restaurant goes viral

Former Pakistani prime minister Nawaz Sharif was on December 24 sentenced to <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/pak-court-convicts-ex-pm-nawaz-sharif-in-corruption-case-sentenced-to-7-years-in-prison-186144">seven years in prison</a> and fined $25 million on corruption charges that he says were politically motivated.

The anti-corruption court in Islamabad said in its ruling that the three-time prime minister was unable to prove the source of income that had led to his ownership of a steel mill in Saudi Arabia. Under Pakistani law, this is taken to prove corruption.

Sharif was found to have been unable to demonstrate that his family had acquired the steel mill legitimately, but was acquitted on the second charge, relating to Flagship.

Sharif, 68, had already been sentenced by the same court to 10 years in prison on charges related to the purchase of upscale apartments in London, after the Supreme Court removed him from power.

Nawaz Sharif was born into a Kashmiri family of industrialists in the eastern city of Lahore in 1949. He graduated with a law degree from Punjab University and went to work in the family steel business.

He entered politics in 1976, joining the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) after the Sharif family steel business was nationalised under the government of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. This was the beginning of a long political rivalry between the families.

In 1981, Sharif joined the Punjab provincial cabinet as finance minister, becoming Punjab's chief minister in 1985. The PML later split and Nawaz formed the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).

He was elected prime minister for the first time in 1990 but soon fell out with President Ghulam Ishaq Khan and was removed three years later after the President dissolved the National Assembly. He was reinstated by Supreme Court which termed the presidential order unconstitutional, but Sharif's party lost the 1993 elections to the Pakistan People's Party of Benazir Bhutto, daughter of Zulfiqar Bhutto.

Sharif again became the prime minister in 1997. During his term, Pakistan successfully tested nuclear weapons in response to India's atomic programme. However, he was overthrown in a military coup by General Pervez Musharraf, the country's fourth army takeover since independence in 1947. After the coup, he was convicted of corruption and given a life sentence for hijacking over an incident when he ordered Musharraf's plane not to land in Islamabad.

Sharif remained in exile in Saudi Arabia from 2000 to 2007 amid reports of a deal with the military. He was given a presidential pardon the day his family left.

He returned from exile to contest elections in 2008 as part of a political deal that ended Musharraf's military rule but lost to Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated ahead of the polls.

Sharif's party swept back to power in 2013, and he became the prime minister for third time. But the trouble soon began after leaked Panama papers in April, 2016, showed involvement of Sharif's family in offshore companies including two used to buy luxury homes in London. Cricketer-turned-politician sensed an opportunity and threatened to paralyse the capital Islamabad with a "lockdown" of street protests in October that year unless demands for an independent investigation into the Panama revelations are met. Sharif denied any wrongdoing.

In November 2016, Pakistan's Supreme Court agreed to set up a judicial commission to probe corruption allegations against Sharif, stemming from Panama Papers leaks and in July, 2017, he was disqualified from office for not declaring income from a company in United Arab Emirates, which was not in original Panama Papers revelations. The court also ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to open a criminal trial into ownership of the London flats along with several other Panama Papers revelations.

In April, 2018, the country's Supreme Court further banned Sharif from political office for life and in July, the NAB court convicted Sharif of corruption and sentenced him in absentia to 10 years in prison. He was arrested on July 13 on returning from London where he was tending to his wife, Kulsoom, who later <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/former-pak-pm-nawaz-sharifs-wife-kulsoom-nawaz-passes-away-in-london-165099">passed away of cancer</a>.

Sharif has a history of conflict with the military even though his political career was initially nurtured by military dictator Zia ul-Haq in the 1980s.

He fell out with powerful generals once he ascended to power a decade later, and relations became fraught after his return as premier in 2013, partly because he challenged the military over foreign policy, which the generals traditionally considered their domain.

Sharif has argued that the military, in cahoots with top judges, has used cases against him and party members to tip the scales in favour of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan ahead of the election.

Five months ago, Sharif's PML-N lost a general election to the party of Khan, who became the new prime minister of Pakistan.

The rise and fall of Pakistan's Nawaz Sharif

An anti-corruption court in <a href="http://www.wionews.com/pakistan">Pakistan</a> will deliver its judgment on Monday in <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/two-corruption-cases-against-nawaz-sharif-pakistan-court-judgement-due-on-december-24-185940">two remaining corruption cases</a> against ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

Judge Muhammad Arshad Malik of Islamabad-based accountability court last week reserved the judgment after completion of hearing in the Flagship Investment and Al-Azizia cases against 68-year-old Sharif. 
 
The Supreme Court set the deadline for Monday to wrap up the remaining two corruption cases against the three-time former prime minister. 
 
If found guilty, Sharif can be sentenced up to 14 years in jail. 
 
Sharif arrived in Islamabad from Lahore on Sunday, a day ahead of the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/south-asia/pakistans-court-to-announce-verdict-on-former-pm-nawaz-sharif-in-corruption-cases-185667">verdict</a>. He is expected to hear the judgement in the courtroom. 
 
Entry to the accountability court has been restricted. No one will be allowed to attend proceedings on Monday except those having the permission of the registrar, the Dawn reported. 
 
PML-N workers have gathered outside the court premises to show their support for the party's supreme leader. 
 
Security has been beefed up around the judicial complex, with heavy contingents of police and Rangers deployed around the building and along roads leading to the court. 
 
The accountability court had indicted Sharif for holding assets beyond his known sources of income in August 2017. 
 
Last week, the judge rejected the application by Sharif's lawyer Khawaja Harris to provide one week time to submit more documents but allowed him to provide any document by Friday last. 
 
The judge also observed that the court was bound to follow December 24 final deadline set by the Supreme Court.

Three cases&nbsp;Avenfield properties case, Flagship Investment case and Al-Azizia steel mills case&nbsp;were launched by the National Accountability Bureau on September 8, 2017, following a judgment by the apex court that disqualified Sharif.

The apex court initially set a six-month deadline to conclude the cases but it subsequently increased around eight times on the request of the accountability court.

Sharif was disqualified by the Supreme Court in the Panama Papers case in July 2017.

In July 2018 Sharif, his daughter Maryam and his son-in-law retired captain Mohammad Safdar were sentenced to 11 years, eight years and one year respectively in prison in the Avenfield properties case related to their purchase of four luxury flats in London through corrupt practices. However, the three were bailed out by the Islamabad High Court in September.

His two sons Hassan and Hussain&nbsp;were also co-accused in all three cases but they were declared absconders for failing to appear before the court even for a single time.

The court decided to hear their cases separately once they returned back.

The three-time former prime minister and his family have denied any wrongdoing.

Sharif, who religiously followed the proceeding by appearing before the court for at least 78 times, told the media after the court reserved the judgment last week that he not committed any corruption.

"Not a penny of corruption has been proven against me? I am very happy that I have done my duty, and I think that since I have stepped in politics I have never indulged in corruption nor have misused my power," he said.

Veteran politician Javed Hashmi on Saturday predicted that Sharif will be convicted in the Flagship and Al-Azizia case as "the institutions won't let these (cases) prove false".

Talking to the media in Multan, he said that the purpose of the NAB was to make politicians change their political loyalties.

"I will not accept this decision as Nawaz Sharif will be convicted at any cost," he was quoted as saying by Dawn newspaper.&nbsp;

"Not a penny of corruption has been proven against me? I am very happy that I have done my duty, and I think that since I have stepped in politics I have never indulged in corruption nor have misused my power," he said. Veteran politician Javed Hashmi on Saturday predicted that Sharif will be convicted in the Flagship and Al-Azizia case as "the institutions won't let these (cases) prove false". Talking to the media in Multan, he said that the purpose of the NAB was to make politicians change their political loyalties. "I will not accept this decision as Nawaz Sharif will be convicted at any cost," he was quoted as saying by Dawn newspaper.
