A Pakistani court on Friday sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife to 14 and 7 years in prison after convicting them of corruption, officials and his lawyer said.
The couple is accused of accepting a gift of land from a real estate tycoon in exchange for laundered money while Khan was in power.
Prosecutors say Khan allowed businessman Malik Riaz to pay fines imposed on him in another case from the same £190 million ($240 million) of laundered money that British authorities returned to Pakistan in 2022 for deposit. To the national treasury.
Khan has denied any wrongdoing and has insisted since his arrest in 2023 that all charges against him are a plot by his rivals to prevent him from returning to office.
