Pakistan's government is Late Bloomer (2024) Full Pinoy Moviein turmoil after the strange plot twist in an ongoing corruption scandal that has ensnared one of the country's wealthiest and most powerful families -- and a Microsoft Word font might just be one of the keys to discovering the truth.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Sharif allegedly submitted forged documents in a judicial investigation into the family's "unusual wealth," according to Reuters. The documentsserved as a smokescreen of her alleged ownership of valuable properties outside the country.
So how did the investigators conclude that the documents were forged? Sharif reportedly used the Microsoft's Calibri font, which wasn't publicly available until 2007, while claiming the documents were created in 2006.
As a result, the word Calibri has been dominating headlines in Pakistan, and the font's Wikipedia page has been locked for editing following a surge in interest from people around the world.

Even though it wasn't widely available until 2007, there were beta versions of the Calibri font available starting in 2005, as Engadgetreports.
Pakistan's English-language newspaper Dawnspoke to Calibri creator Lucas de Groot to get his view on the controversy. He found it extremely unlikely that the documents creators were using an early beta — meaning that he thinks the documents were, in fact, forged.
The investigation into the Sharif family began following revelations from last year's Panama Papers leak, which nearly caused the PM to be removed from office back in April. Pakistan's judicial investigation team working for the Supreme Court filed its report earlier this week, concluding that the family's wealth tracked far above its earnings, along with the allegations of forgery.
Sharif shot back on Twitter after some of the details of the report leaked to the public, declaring herself to be in the clear.

That's not how the public sees the case, however. Pakistanis are roasting Sharif on Twitter, using #FontGate to skewer the botched forgeries and the executive family's alleged corruption.

The Sharif corruption scandal is still unfolding, as the PM's resignation has been demanded by the opposition party. Meanwhile, Sharif holds support from his party, with the country's Defense Minister Asif Khawaja is calling the investigation's report "trash," according to Reuters. The Pakistan Supreme Court will decide whether it will hold another trial to remove Sharif from office.
Somehow, though, Pakistan's Calibri case is only the second dumbest move by a politician's offspring to take over social media this week, following Donald Trump Jr.'s unforced Russian collusion email leak. If there's a lesson to be learned here, it's that world leaders shouldn't let their rich imbecile adult childrenkids try to cover up their corruption.
That, and you should be extra careful when you're drafting your next Word template. You never know when your choice of font might just lead to an international scandal.
