Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife were sentenced to 14 years in prison on Wednesday for corruption in a case involving gifts received while he was in power, local media reported.
This judgment comes the day after Imran Khan was sentenced to 10 years in prison for disclosing classified documents, and a few days before the legislative and provincial elections of February 8, for which he was already ineligible.
It was not immediately possible to determine whether the two convictions were cumulative or not.
Imran Khan was accused, with his wife Bushra Bibi, whom he married in 2018 a few months before becoming prime minister, of having received gifts while in power whose value he underestimated before reselling them at a high price.
All gifts must be declared and only those worth less than a certain amount can be kept or purchased at an officially agreed price.
Both trials were held in Adiala prison, where Imran Khan has been incarcerated almost since his arrest in August.
He faces charges in dozens of cases and was also declared ineligible for five years.
The election campaign was marred by accusations of fraud and repression against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party he founded.
