ISLAMABAD: Controversy surrounds Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif after Panamagate Joint Investigation Team (JIT)’s report revealed he was employed in a Dubai Free-zone Company while serving the highest office in Pakistan.

Submitting a report to the Supreme Court of Pakistan last week, the six-member probing team confirmed that Sharif was registered as an employee with this company till 2014.

The report revealed that he did not disclose this information before running for the highest public office in 2013, terming it breach of the constitution.

His family, however, persistently denied the report and asserted that his employee status was maintained only for visa purposes.
