Embattled Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday met his close aides to chalk out a strategy to deal with the legal and political implications of the damning report by a probe panel on the Panamagate scandal that recommended filing of a corruption case against him.

The six-member Joint Investigation Team (JIT) that probed the Sharif family’s business dealings in its 10-volume report submitted to the apex court recommended that a corruption case should be filed against

Sharif and his sons Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz, as well as daughter Maryam Nawaz, under the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) ordinance 1999.

The report found Sharif and his children to be “living beyond the known means of income”.
