Arrest warrant issued for ex-Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
2017-10-27
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A court in Pakistain has issued the arrest warrant of the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts...
nearly three months after he was disqualified over corruption charges.

According to the local media reports, the bailable arrest warrant was issued today by the country’s anti-corruption court.

The reports further add that the arrest warrant was issued for two cases of corruption spiralling from Panama Papaers leak.

The warrant was reportedly issued after he failed to appear in the court in two graft cases ‐ the Flagship Investment case and the al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment case.

This comes as Supreme Court of Pakistain late in July disqualified the country’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over corruption charges.

The decision regarding the disqualification of Sharif as Pakistain’s Premier was announced on 28th July after he was found guilty of involvement in corruption.
