Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for corruption, the longest sentence he has received among over 100 charges. Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were accused of accepting land as a bribe from a real estate tycoon through the Al-Qadir Trust. Khan allegedly used £190m repatriated by the UK’s National Crime Agency to pay the tycoon’s fines. Khan’s party claims the charges are politically motivated. Bibi received a seven-year sentence and was taken into custody. Khan maintains his innocence.
