Former Pakistan PM Nawaz Sharif arrives in London; unclear if he will return to country to face remaining corruption cases

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif arrived in London on November 8, 2019, after being allowed to leave the country for medical treatment. It is unclear if he will return to Pakistan to face remaining corruption cases against him.

Sharif was convicted in absentia of corruption and money laundering in July 2018 and sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was also disqualified from holding public office for life.

Sharif's supporters claim that the charges against him are politically motivated and that he is innocent. They have also criticized the government for not allowing him to travel abroad for medical treatment.

The government has said that Sharif is free to return to Pakistan at any time to face the charges against him. However, it is unclear if he will do so.

Sharif's arrival in London has been met with mixed reactions. Some Pakistanis have welcomed his return, while others have called for him to be arrested and returned to Pakistan to face justice.

It is unclear how long Sharif will stay in London. He has said that he will return to Pakistan once his health improves. However, it is possible that he could stay in London indefinitely if he fears being arrested and jailed if he returns to Pakistan.

The Sharif family has a long history of involvement in Pakistani politics. Nawaz Sharif's brother, Shehbaz Sharif, is the current Chief Minister of Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province.

The Sharif family has been accused of corruption and money laundering on numerous occasions. In 2017, the Panama Papers revealed that the Sharif family had offshore accounts and assets worth millions of dollars.

The Sharif family has denied any wrongdoing. However, the allegations against them have damaged their reputation and led to calls for their resignation from office.

The Sharif family's future in Pakistani politics is uncertain. Nawaz Sharif is facing serious corruption charges and it is unclear if he will be able to return to Pakistan and clear his name. Shehbaz Sharif is also facing corruption charges and could be disqualified from holding public office.

The Sharif family's political future will depend on the outcome of the corruption cases against them and on the support of the Pakistani people.
