Judiciary Issues
In 2000, three main cases were filed against the Sharif family. Nine members: Muhammad Sharif, wife of Muhammad Sharif, Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, Abbas Sharif, Hussain Nawaz, Hamza Shahbaz, Shamim Akhtar, wife of Abbas Sharif (Sabiha Abbas) and Maryam Nawaz, were named in the Hudaibiya paper mills case. In 2008, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) reopened the cases of corruption and money laundering against the family about Raiwind assets, Hudaibiya Paper Mills and Ittefaq Foundry.
In December 2000, 18 members of the family were exiled to Saudi Arabia, after a deal with the government of Pervez Musharraf.

Famous quotes containing the words judiciary and/or issues:
“The judiciary has fallen to a very low state in this country. I think your part of the country has suffered especially. The federal judges of the South are a disgrace to any country, and I’ll be damned if I put any man on the bench of whose character and ability there is the least doubt.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
