Azizia Steel Mills & Hill Metal Establishment Case
The Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment (HME) corruption case was a significant legal proceeding in Pakistan involving former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The case stemmed from the Panama Papers leak, which revealed offshore assets linked to Sharif's family.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) filed the Al-Azizia and HME references against Nawaz Sharif, alleging that he could not justify the sources of funds used to establish these businesses in Saudi Arabia. The case was one of several initiated following the Supreme Court's 2017 disqualification of Sharif under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution, which pertains to honesty and trustworthiness.
