Former Pak prime minister Imran Khan wife Bushra get prison sentence in corruption case

Islamabad, A Pakistan court on Friday found former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi guilty of corruption in the 190 million pounds al&Qadir Trust case and sentenced them to 14 and seven years in prison, respectively.

Judge Nasir Javed Rana of the anti-corruption court announced the verdict that had been deferred three times due to different reasons last time on January 13.

The judge announced the verdict in a makeshift court set up in Adila jail-

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) filed the case against Khan 72 Bibi 50 and others in December 2023, accusing them of causing a loss to the tune of 190 million pounds (PRs 50 billion) to the national kitty.

However, Khan and Bibi have been prosecuted as all others, including a property tycoon, were out of the country-

The case revolves around allegations that an amount of £50 billion returned to Pakistan by the UK’s National Crime Agency as part of a settlement with a property tycoon was misused-

The funds were reportedly intended for the national treasury but were allegedly redirected for the personal benefit of the businessman who helped Bibi and Khan set up a university-

Bibi, as a trustee of the Al&Qadir Trust, is accused of benefiting from this settlement, including acquiring 458 kanals of land for Al&Qadir University in Jhelum-
