Ex-Pakistani PM & cricket captain Imran Khan jailed for 14 YEARS in £200million corruption case
FORMER Pakistan PM Imran Khan has been sentenced to 14 years in jail after he was found guilty of corruption.
The already imprisoned ex-cricket captain was sentenced after allegations he was linked in a £200 million corruption case.
His wife was also sentenced to seven years behind bars after the couple were accused of accepting a gift of land from a real estate tycoon in exchange for laundered money when Khan was in power.
Prosecutors say the businessman, Malik Riaz, was then allowed by Khan to pay fines that were imposed on him in another case from the same laundered money of £190 million.
Khan has denied wrongdoing and insisted since his arrest in 2023 that all the charges against him are a plot by rivals to keep him from returning to office.
