Pakistan's anti-graft watchdog today filed four corruption cases against ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his children and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar over the Panama Papers scandal. <br/><br/>A National Accountability Bureau, NAB, official said the cases have been filed with anti-corruption court of Rawalpindi-Islamabad following the court orders before the end of the deadline of 8th September. Those named in the cases filed include Sharif, his sons Hasan and Hussain, daughter Maryam, son-in-law Muhammad Safdar and Ishaq Dar. <br/><br/>The cases have been initiated after the Supreme Court on 28th July disqualified 67-year-old Sharif for dishonesty and ruled that corruption cases be filed against him and his children over the scandal. The apex court had tasked the NAB to register corruption cases against him, his children, son-in-law and the finance minister within six weeks. <br/><br/>The accused can be sentenced for several years in jail and they could be permanently disqualified for any public office if proved guilty.
