Nawaz Sharif was allegedly involved in money laundering to buy assets in London in the 1990s.
The 2016 Panama Papers leak revealed that the assets were being managed through offshore companies owned by Sharif's children.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan on Friday disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from holding office, BBC reports.
The Panama Papers investigation was carried out by multiple news organisations across the world, after the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) shared files from the database of the world’s fourth biggest offshore law firm, Mossack Fonseca.
The records had been obtained from an anonymous source by German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.
More details awaited.
