Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment on corruption charges. He was found guilty of not declaring money earned from selling gifts he received while in office. The gifts, reportedly worth more than US$635,000, included Rolex watches, a ring and a pair of cuff links. As a result of the verdict, Mr. Khan has been barred from running for political office for the next five years. He is expected to appeal his conviction. A former Pakistani test cricketer and captain, Mr. Khan was elected in 2018, but was ousted in a no-confidence vote last year after a falling-out with Pakistan’s military. He is currently facing more than 100 charges since his removal from office, charges which he considers to be politically motivated. See https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66414696.
