ISLAMABAD: Pakistan jailed former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, on Monday challenged in a high court their conviction in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
An accountability court in Islamabad convicted the former first couple in the high-profile 190 million British Pounds case in a much-anticipated ruling earlier this month.
Imran’s party said the National Accountability Bureau “maliciously misused its authority by announcing sentence, with incomplete investigation”.
The NAB, the top anti-corruption body, in December 2023 had filed the case against Khan, Bibi and six others, accusing them of causing loss to the tune of Rs 50 billion to the national kitty.
