Nawaz Sharif, former
Pakistani Prime Minister.
Former Pakistani Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif, serving a prison sentence over corruption, was
transferred to a hospital, local media reported.
The former prime minister
was transferred from Adiala Jail to the cardiac ward of the Pakistan Institute
of Medical Sciences on Sunday, Geo News outlet reported, citing sources.
Sharif had reportedly been
complaining of strong chest pains.
Earlier in July, Sharif was
sentenced to 10 years in prison and a 10.5 million dollars fine.
In 2017, Pakistan’s top
court removed him from office after the release of the so-called Panama Papers,
revealing offshore accounts and other financial information of many prominent
figures across the world.
The dossier indicated that
Sharif’s children owned offshore accounts in the British Virgin Islands and
expensive property in London.
Pakistani authorities
questioned the sources of Sharif family’s wealth.
