Islamabad: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been convicted in a major corruption case involving land dealings worth £190 million. On Friday, an accountability court in Islamabad sentenced Khan to 14 years in prison while his wife was handed a seven-year sentence, according to Pakistani media reports.
The case, which was filed under accusations of land corruption and financial misconduct, has further intensified the legal and political challenges for the former Prime Minister and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The conviction marks a significant turning point in Khan’s legal battles, as he faces several charges related to corruption and misconduct.
The court’s ruling has sparked mixed reactions in Pakistan, with some supporters of Khan calling the judgment politically motivated, while others see it as a step toward accountability for those in power. The sentences are expected to have profound implications on the political landscape in Pakistan, as Imran Khan remains a prominent figure within the country’s opposition.
