Imran Khan, Pakistan's Ex-PM, Sentenced in Fraud Case
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been sentenced to prison for fraud in a case involving a luxury Bulgari jewelry set gifted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The couple received ten years for criminal breach of trust and seven years for misconduct, along with a fine of over sixteen million Pakistani rupees. Khan, who is already serving time for another corruption charge, maintains the charges are politically motivated and plans to appeal. Despite being absent from the hearing, the judge showed leniency due to Khans age. The former leader continues to face over one hundred cases, including leaking secrets and terrorism charges related to protests last May. His party keeps his social media active with fiery posts against the government and army chief Asim Munir, despite no family visits for weeks.
