London: Hassan Nawaz, the son of former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, has been declared a tax defaulter in the United Kingdom and fined a hefty amount of Rs 1.8 billion.
According to reports, UK tax authorities have penalized Hassan Nawaz over unpaid taxes linked to his businesses and properties. The fine, equivalent to approximately £5 million, was imposed after an investigation into financial discrepancies.
Hassan Nawaz, who resides in London, has yet to comment on the matter. Meanwhile, political opponents in Pakistan have seized upon the development, calling for further scrutiny of the Sharif family’s overseas assets.
The case has sparked debates on financial accountability, with some questioning the implications of the ruling for Nawaz Sharif’s political standing in Pakistan.
