The judgment against Sharif (68) came Friday afternoon. His daughter Maryam Nawaz, 44, is sentenced to seven years in prison. Sharif's brother-in-law is sentenced to one year's imprisonment.
In addition to the prison sentence, the father and daughter are fined about 10 million pounds – more than 100 million Norwegian kroner. The court also ruled that several properties in London belonging to Sharif were to be seized.
The discourse on corruption was based on the revelations of the so-called Panama Papers, which deal with tax havens. The court has come to the conclusion that Sharif and his family own two luxury apartments in London bought from corruption funds.
Sharif was Pakistan's prime minister for three periods. The last period lasted from 2013 to 2017. He was appointed by the Supreme Court in 2017 because of corruption charges. Earlier this year, he was also banned from any political activity in life.
View in London
Sharif himself and his daughter Maryam Nawaz stayed in London for the last days when Sharif's wife was hospitalized for cancer treatment. According to the family, his condition is critical
Therefore, none of them was present in court. Sharif wanted to put an end to the sentence for a few days but did not have an audience.
The son-in-law should be in Pakistan, but he was not in court when the verdict fell at 4:30 pm in Islamabad.
Election on July 25 [19659006] Many now believe that the verdict against Sharif is politically motivated. He is in election in Pakistan on July 25.
His party is still strong in the country and should be the largest or the second largest party. Maryam Nawaz was one of the party's prime ministers if the party had won the elections but was now out of play because of the verdict.
The younger brother of Sharif Shahbaz Sharif will probably be the next prime minister of the country if the party wins the elections.
