Nawaz Sharif and his family members may face travel restrictions: report

 NAB Lahore office on Friday initiated the process to place the names of Mr. Sharif, his sons Hussain and Hassan, daughter Maryam and son-in-law Mohammad Safdar on Exit Control List (ECL).

Ousted premier Nawaz Sharif and four of his family members can soon be barred from leaving Pakistan in connection with the Panama Papers case as the country’s anti-graft watchdog has initiated a process to place their names on the Exit Control List, a media report said on



Saturday.

Mr. Sharif (67), and some of his family members are facing charges relating to their ownership of properties in London.

He resigned as prime minister in July after the country’s Supreme Court disqualified him over undeclared income.

Three cases were registered by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on September 8 against Mr. Sharif, his children and son-in-law in the Accountability Court Islamabad, following the July verdict by the Supreme Court.
