The London High Court has declared Hassan Nawaz, son of former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) president Nawaz Sharif, bankrupt in a tax case initiated by the United Kingdom's Tax and Revenue Department.
The bankruptcy ruling against Hassan Nawaz came in relation to Case No. 694 of 2023, which was filed on August 25, 2023, in the London High Court.
The court's decision follows Hassan's financial disputes with British authorities over tax matters, marking a significant development in the family's legal challenges abroad.
The case adds to a series of financial and legal issues faced by the Sharif family, who have been under scrutiny in both the UK and Pakistan for financial dealings.
