Join us for live coverage as former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, face significant legal repercussions. On January 17, 2025, a Pakistani court sentenced Khan to 14 years in prison on corruption charges, while Bushra Bibi received a 7-year sentence. The couple was convicted of accepting land from real estate magnate Malik Riaz in exchange for facilitating money laundering during Khan’s tenure. Prosecutors allege that Riaz used £190 million of laundered funds to pay fines imposed in a separate case. Khan has consistently denied any wrongdoing, asserting that the charges are politically motivated attempts by his rivals to prevent his return to power. His defense team has announced plans to appeal the verdict. This development marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s political landscape, with potential implications for the nation’s future governance.
