A special federal court in Pakistan sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife to 14 years in prison on corruption charges Wednesday.
Khan, 71, and former first lady Bushra Bibi were convicted of illegally retaining and selling state gifts, including jewelry and watches from Saudi Arabia’s government, when he was in office from 2018 to 2022. The court ruling also barred them from holding public office for 10 years and fined them more than $2.8 million each.
