Imran Khan Sentenced to 14 Years in Corruption Case

The former Pakistani prime minister and his wife were convicted on charges of misuse of authority and accepting illicit benefits, sparking protests and raising political tensions.

Imran Khan, 72, was sentenced to 14 years in prison, while his wife, Bushra Bibi, received a 7-year sentence for their involvement in the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case.
The charges center on allegations that Khan and his wife accepted land from property tycoon Malik Riaz in exchange for facilitating the laundering of over $239 million in recovered funds.
Khan denies all charges, claiming the case is politically motivated and accusing the military and intelligence agencies of orchestrating his downfall.
The verdict has intensified political unrest, with Khan’s supporters staging protests and accusing the judiciary of bias and persecution.
This marks Khan's fourth major conviction, though previous sentences were overturned; he remains one of Pakistan's most polarizing and influential political figures.
