Nawaz Sharif's Exile

Nawaz Sharif, a prominent Pakistani politician and former Prime Minister, faced charges of corruption and financial misconduct linked to his family's wealth. In 2019, under legal pressure, he and his family were granted permission to leave Pakistan for treatment, but instead chose to go into self-imposed exile in London. This exile was largely seen as a strategic move to avoid arrest and legal proceedings in Pakistan. Although he remained out of the country, his political influence persisted. He returned to Pakistan in 2023 after legal and political circumstances changed, ending his period of exile.
