NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — Pakistan's Supreme Court ruled to remove Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from office following a nearly year-long corruption investigation into his family, local media reported Friday.

"Supreme Court of Pakistan has disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Papers case verdict. Justice Ejaz Afzal announced the decision," The Times of Islamabad wrote.

Shairf's family came under fire after the Panama Papers documents leaked in April 2016 showed that his sons Hassan and Hussain, and daughter Maryam, owned at least three offshore holding companies registered in the British Virgin Islands.
