Uproar in Pakistan over claim of meddling in Nawaz Sharif case
Former chief justice allegedly heard on tape admitting pressure was brought to bear in case against ex-PM

The recording, which has not been independently verified by the Guardian, has triggered an uproar in Pakistan and once again drawn scrutiny towards the country’s courts, which have long been tainted by accusations of meddling by the military.
