A Pakistan court has sentenced former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife to 14 and seven years in jail respectively after finding them guilty of corruption, his lawyers and officials said.
The two were accused of accepting a gift of land from a real estate tycoon in exchange for laundered money when Mr Khan was in power.
The court has also fined Mr Khan Rs 1 million (£2,930) and ordered his wife to pay half that amount.
According to prosecutors, Mr Khan allowed the businessman Malik Riaz to pay fines that were imposed on him in a separate case out of the laundered amount of £190m ($240m). The amount was returned by the British authorities to Pakistan in 2022 to be deposited to the national exchequer.
