Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on April 5 announced the formation of a commission to investigate allegations made in Panama Papers that linked his family to a series of offshore companies.
Three of Sharif’s four children are named in the Panama Papers — daughter Maryam, who has been tipped to be his political successor, and sons Hasan and Hussain — with the records showing they owned London real estate through offshore companies administered by Mossack Fonseca.
