A Pakistani court has convicted former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, sentencing them to 17 years in prison. The couple was found guilty of retaining and selling state gifts, including jewelry from Saudi Arabia, at prices far below market value. They pleaded not guilty when indicted last year. Prosecutors said they declared the gifts' value at just over $10,000, while the actual market value was $285,521. Khan’s spokesperson criticized the verdict, claiming it ignored justice principles. Khan’s party denounced the decision, calling it a "black chapter in history." Khan has faced multiple prison terms since 2023.
