The Prime Minister Of Pakistan Has Asked The UAE For Help Amid A Huge Corruption Scandal
Two scandals have shaken The Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, this week. Sharif, who is serving his third separate term as PM of Pakistan, has been rocked by a report on the Panama papers by the Joint Investigations Team (JIT) that investigated the Sharif and his influential daughters’ Maryam financial dealings.
Frist, it emerged he has a company in Dubai to allow him a UAE visa that eases travel in and out of Pakistan. Not only that, this company pays him a salary of AED 10,000 per month.
Secondly, it shows that evidence produced by Maryam Nawaz Sharif was in the font Calibri. The documents were dated in 2006, however — and Calibri only became publically available in 2007, making a case for forgery.
The company was registered in Jebel Ali Freezone and this letter confirms the salary

It looks like Nawaz Sharif is seeking the help of foreign governments…
Is there’s something that Nawaz Sharif is good at? “Bringing shame to the country” Begging UAE govt to pick up his call. Koi sharam haya? pic.twitter.com/63LPeJC9Su

Something that opposition leader Imran Khan says he should stop
NS should stop his futile attempts to get foreign govts to bail him out. We have waited 30 years to get justice.
