ISLAMABAD, Dec 12: A Pakistani court indicted imprisoned former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife on fresh charges of illegally selling state gifts on Thursday, local broadcaster Geo reported.
The indictment was the latest in dozens of cases against the 72-year-old former cricket star, who has been in jail since late last year.
Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have already been granted bail in the case, which is one of a series of state treasury charges known as "Toshakhana".
These charges revolve around allegations that Khan and his wife illegally procured and then sold gifts worth more than 140 million rupees ($501,000) in state possession, which he received during his 2018-22 premiership. They have denied committing an offence.
Khan and Bibi were both handed a 14-year sentence on those charges days before a national election earlier this year, following a three-year sentence handed to him in late 2023 in another version of the same case. —REUTERS
