According to the Panama Papers, three of Sharif's four children-- daughter Maryam and sons Hasan and Hussain -- were owners of offshore companies and "were owners or had the right to authorize transactions for several companies".

Immediately after the verdict, Defense Minister Khwaja Asif told the media that Sharif will remain the prime minister and asserted that he will also be re-elected in 2018 election.
