The Prime Minister Of Pakistan Has Asked The UAE For Help Amid A Huge Corruption Scandal

Avatar

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… 

Something that opposition leader Imran Khan says he should stop 

#GameOverNawaz was trending in Pakistan and Dubai this week as people are furious

Secondly, #Fontgate trended globally regarding evidence produced dated when the font was not publically available 

Evidence was produced in court dated 2006 in Calibri font…

… however Microsoft confirmed it’s Calibri font wasn’t available until 2007

And of course, the internet poked fun
