London : A special team of Pakistan's anti-corruption watchdog has arrived in the UK to probe the offshore assets of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his children in the high-profile Panama Papers scandal, a media report said today.
The team of the National Accountability Bureau or NAB includes members of the combined investigation team that had prepared four corruption and money laundering cases against Mr Sharif's family and one case against Finance Minister Ishaq Dar for having assets beyond his known sources of income, Dawn News reported.
The cases were registered weeks after the Supreme Court disqualified 67-year Mr Sharif as prime minister on July 28 in the Panama Papers scandal.
Before the team arrived in London, NAB authorities wrote a letter to British authorities and appealed for cooperation in the investigation.
Mr Sharif is still in London with his ailing wife Kulsoom Nawaz. According to Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb, the PML-N president would be arriving back in the country soon.
NAB has initiated the process of declaring Sharif's sons proclaimed offenders on the order of the accountability court.
