ISLAMABAD – The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has fixed appeals filed by former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in the £190 million corruption case for hearing on November 10.
A IHC two-member bench comprising Chief Justice Sardar Sarfraz Dogar and Justice Muhammad Asif will take up the appeals.
The development marks a major step forward in the legal proceedings concerning the high-profile Al-Qadir Trust case, commonly known as the £190 million case.
Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi had challenged their convictions in the case before the Islamabad High Court, and sought relief against the sentences handed down by the accountability court.
The case centres on allegations involving the transfer and adjustment of £190 million returned to Pakistan by the United Kingdom’s National Crime Agency (NCA) in 2019.
The funds were transferred to Pakistan following an agreement between the NCA and a property tycoon. The prosecutors alleged that the amount was adjusted against liabilities of the property developer, and caused financial losses to the national exchequer.
Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have denied wrongdoing in the case and challenged the accountability court’s verdict.
