Overview
- An FIA special court sitting at Adiala Jail convicted both of criminal breach of trust and corruption, awarding 10 years under Section 409 of the Penal Code plus 7 years under anti-corruption laws.
- The court fined each Rs16.4 million, ordered an additional six months if unpaid, and granted credit for time already served under Section 382-B of the CrPC.
- Jail authorities began executing the order immediately as Bushra Bibi’s bail lapsed, with both defendants already serving sentences in the £190 million case.
- PTI’s legal team says the decision was issued in the absence of defence counsel and vows to challenge it at the Islamabad High Court, calling the prosecution politically driven.
- Prosecutors argued a Bulgari set from Saudi Arabia was retained or purchased at a steep undervalue in violation of Toshakhana rules, and the government says Khan’s new term will follow his existing 14-year sentence.
