Pakistan's Supreme Court has disqualified Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from holding public office following an investigation into corruption allegations.
The ruling comes after a probe into his family's wealth following the 2015 Panama Papers dump linking Mr Sharif's children to offshore companies.
Mr Sharif has consistently denied any wrongdoing in the case, the BBC reported on Friday.
The court has recommended anti-corruption cases against several individuals, including Mr Sharif, his daughter Maryam and her husband Safdar, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and others.
No civilian prime minister of Pakistan has ever completed a five-year term.
Mr Sharif, who was serving as prime minister for a record third time, was less than a year away from becoming the first to complete a full term in office.
