Not a chance! When they sheepishly tried to pull a fast one by stating that visa on passport is their declaration of iqamah.
That landed them in a quagmire. They couldn't go back on their failed argument.
As per WPS law, company HAVE to deposit salary into its employees accounts, and confirmation is submitted to Ministry in Dubai. If investigated, Hussain would have been behind bars in Dubai for falsely stating that all employees of FZE were not paid - tantamount to fraud as per UAE laws.

He was one time advisor to UAE government. He is also close relative of Nawaz Sharif. Dar son is married to Nawaz Sharif daugther Asma Nawaz.

Second time in history
It is the second time in Pakistan’s 70-year history that the Supreme Court has disqualified a sitting prime minister. In 2012 then-prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani was disqualified over contempt of court charges for refusing to reopen a corruption case against the sitting president Asif Ali Zardari.
The Supreme Court’s unceremonious end to Sharif’s tenure represents a record third time he has been ousted as leader before completing his term.In 1993 he was sacked by the then-president over graft allegations, while in 1999 he was ousted in a military coup.
The court had in April declared there was “insufficient evidence” to oust Sharif over the graft allegations engulfing his family, and ordered an investigation team to probe the matter.

The team of civilian and military investigators found there was a “significant disparity” between the Sharif family’s income and lifestyle in its report submitted to the court earlier this month. The Sharifs and their allies have consistently and noisily rejected the claims, with his ruling PML-N party this month dismissing the investigation team’s report as “trash”.
Meanwhile, a member of Sharif party, Marriyum Aurangzeb, said that the verdict doesn’t prove any corruption allegations against the PM. “Today’s Supreme Court verdict doesn’t prove corruption allegations against Nawaz Sharif,” she told reporters on Friday. “History bears witness that whenever Nawaz Sharif was removed from political scenario, the nation brought him back in Parliament with even more votes,” Marriyum said.

Divided analysts
Analysts were divided on what the court might do, though Michael Kugelman of the Woodrow Wilson Institute in Washington noted there was a “pretty strong precedent of the Pakistani judiciary being very active and essentially sending elected officials packing”.
However, he added, the case has been “more about his family” than Sharif himself. “You have to acknowledge the fact that Nawaz Sharif himself is not really being accused of anything that is against the law.”
The controversy erupted last year with the publication of 11.5 million secret documents from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca documenting the offshore dealings of many of the world’s rich and powerful.
Three of Sharif’s four children -- Maryam, his presumptive political heir, and his sons Hasan and Hussein -- were implicated in the papers. At the heart of the case is the legitimacy of the funds used by the Sharif family to purchase several high-end London properties via offshore companies.

Legal wealth
The PML-N insists the wealth was acquired legally, through Sharif family businesses in Pakistan and the Gulf. The push against Sharif has been spearheaded by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf party, who said Sharif has lost “moral authority”.
Bribery and other forms of graft are endemic in Pakistan, with the country coming in 116th place out of 176 countries ranked according to corruption by Transparency International in 2017. Sharif has been ousted by graft allegations once before, during the first of his three terms as prime minister in 1993. He has not yet completed a term as prime minister, having been toppled in his second term by a military coup in 1999.
The allegations are a blow to his credibility ahead of general elections due to be held by next year, and as the civilian government appears to have reached an uneasy detente with the military, which has ruled Pakistan for half of its existence.
His party currently has no clear successor in place. Daughter Maryam does not hold public office, while his brother Shahbaz Sharif, the current chief minister of Punjab province, holds only a provincial seat.

Everything will happen in a step by step manner. Now I will expect the Dawn-leaks case is reinitiated in addition to the FIRs against NS and SS for the massacre of the model town victims.

Pakistani court topples PM Nawaz Sharif
Pakistan's Supreme Court has disqualified the country's premier Nawaz Sharif in a corruption case related to Panama Papers. Pro-democracy activists say the verdict was politically motivated and a setback for democracy.
On Friday, Pakistan's apex court announced the much-awaited verdict amid tight security in the capital Islamabad, fearing its ruling could trigger a violent reaction from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's Muslim League-N party's supporters.
Around 3,000 security personnel were deployed around the Supreme Court building ahead of the verdict.
As many political commentators in Pakistan had anticipated, the judges found PM Sharif guilty in the Panama Papers case, which had kept Sharif hanging by thread since last year.
The five-bench panel of judges said a reference would be filed in the National Accountability Bureau to further investigate the corruption cases against the premier and his family. All five judges were in favor of disqualifying PM Sharif.
Sharif's office said in a statement that the premier had resigned following the court verdict despite having "serious reservations" about the judicial process.
"Hundreds of Sharif's supporters, local and foreign journalists and opposition activists were present at the Supreme Court building. Opposition politicians cheered the disqualification decision," said Sattar Khan, DW's correspondent in Islamabad. He added that the verdict could weaken democratic forces in Pakistan who have been trying to assert themselves against powerful military generals, who many analysts say call the shots in the Islamic country.
Ruling party officials said that despite disqualification, Sharif would continue to make decisions for the Muslim League-N.
'Panamagate'
In April last year, Sharif found himself in a precarious position following the "revelations" made by the famed Panama Papers. Leaked documents showed that three of Sharif's children had links with offshore companies that owned properties in London. Sharif denies any wrongdoing.
Subsequently, a petition against Sharif was filed in the country's Supreme Court, which in April ruled against Sharif's disqualification as prime minister but formed a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to further probe allegations.
In a report submitted to the apex court on July 10, the JIT said Sharif's sons, Hussain and Hassan Nawaz, were used as proxies to build family assets.
Security was tight around the Supreme Court building ahead of the verdict
The JIT also pointed out failure on the part of the Sharif family to produce the required documents that would confirm their "known sources of income," underlining that the prime minister's family was not able to reconcile their assets with their means of income.
Consequently, the six-member JIT recommended that the case be forwarded to the National Accountability Bureau, which deals with corruption cases.
The Friday verdict means that Sharif could no longer retain his seat in parliament. He is likely to nominate a premiership candidate from his party to succeed him and serve as prime minister until the general elections next year. Sharif was swept into power in 2013 after comfortably winning the general election.
But the political consequences of the Supreme Court verdict are such that Sharif's party would come under enormous pressure to announce snap elections. Opposition leader Imran Khan, who heads the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Movement for Justice, PTI) party, is already demanding an early vote.
Three-time PM Sharif never completed a term as prime minister, having been removed in his second term by a military coup by General Prevez Musharraf in 1999.
Khalid Hameed Farooqi, a Brussels-based Pakistani journalist who covers diplomatic affairs, told DW that the apex court decision could reflect negatively on Pakistan. "Sharif has a good reputation in the European Union. His departure would have an adverse effect on Pakistan's foreign relations," said Farooqi.

'Politically motivated'
Despite the hype around the corruption scandal, some analysts say that Prime Minister Sharif was "victimized" by the country's powerful military establishment, which is allegedly backing the opposition parties. The army leadership is very skeptical of Sharif due to his repeated attempts to improve ties with India and enhance trade between the two South Asian nuclear-armed archrivals. Also, a strong civilian government has always been a threat to the military's unchecked power.

Michael Kugelman of the Wilson Center in Washington noted there was a "pretty strong precedent of the Pakistani judiciary being very active and essentially sending elected officials packing." The expert also said the Panama Papers case was "more about his family" than Sharif himself.
"You have to acknowledge the fact that Nawaz Sharif himself is not really being accused of anything that is against the law," Kugelman said prior to the verdict.
Sharif's supporters say that corruption scandals involving politicians are not a new occurrence in Pakistan. Former President Asif Ali Zardari has been accused of massive corruption, and there are already court cases against him. There are graft allegations against the military generals as well, but hardly anyone from the army has ever been tried.
Opposition leader Imran Khan calls for early elections
The activists decry the Pakistani military's alleged lack of respect for the rule of law. Last year, former military dictator Pervez Musharraf, who is facing multiple charges in Pakistani courts, was allowed to leave the country to seek medical treatment abroad. Considering the nature of the cases against Musharraf, it should not have been that easy for him to exit Pakistan. The former general is accused of treason, and involvement in the 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Analysts say it all comes down to the fact that Musharraf was a former military chief, and it was just a matter of time before he would be sent abroad. There are different sets of legal rules for civilian politicians and for army generals, they say.
"The Panama Leaks scandal in Pakistan is more a political issue than legal. There have been bigger corruption scandals in the country; none attracted that much attention," Ali K. Chishti, a Karachi-based security and defense analyst, told DW.
Asma Jahangir, a prominent lawyer and rights activist in Pakistan, told DW the Panama Papers case was never about accountability.
"The question of accountability, in my opinion, should be that when Nawaz Sharif was close to the military establishment, why were the courts so lenient with him? Now when Sharif is no longer close to that establishment, they are acting against him. This is my concern: how has the judiciary become so independent all of a sudden? Maybe it is not a relevant question, but it is something that people will be asking," Jahangir told DW.
"You can't see this Panama Papers case in isolation. There is a history of opposition demonstrations [by Imran Khan's PTI party] behind it and it is apparent that the strings are being moved from somewhere," Jahangir said, alluding to the military establishment.

There will be fallout - not direct orders, as references will make them relinquish the charge of NBP.
SECP (I meant Hijazi) was already gone, I know there is one symbolic one, who will have an officer who will be more powerful than Chairman
NAB in its current state is nothing but a post office after this verdict.
