Exile
Shahbaz Sharif lived in exile in London with his brother as a result of a deal he and his brother made with Pervez Musharraf, the exiled former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif after coming from Saudi Arabia. Although Sharif brothers initially denied the existence of any deal, but later admitted it. The deal papers were made public in 2008. He once tried coming back to Pakistan following a High Court decision that he was free to come back whenever he wanted. On 11 May 2004 his plane landed at Allama Iqbal International Airport Lahore but he was arrested and again deported to Saudi Arabia within a few hours.
