Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan gets 14-year sentence on corruption charges

Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Pakistan's anti-corruption court handed former Prime Minister Imran Khan a 14-year jail sentence in a land bribery case against him, his attorney said on Friday.

The case was one of the largest against the embattled, but still popular, former cricket star who has been in jail since 2023. Prosecutors had charged that Khan sought land in exchange for favors from real estate developer Malik Riaz Hussain.
