Court pronounces £190m case verdict against PTI founder tomorrow

ISLAMABAD: The Accountability Court Rawalpindi will announced its thrice-postponed reserved verdict in £190 million Al Qadir Trust case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran khan and his wife Bushra Bibi on Monday (tomorrow).

The court staff has informed PTI founder Imran Khan’s counsel and NAB prosecution team that the Accountability Court judge will announce the verdict at 11 am in Adiala Jail on Monday (tomorrow).

Earlier the court deferred the announcement of verdict in £190m case against Imran khan and his wife Bushra Bibi for the third time.

It is worth mentioning here that accountability court in Islamabad reserved its verdict in £190 million reference against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.

Accountability court judge Nasir Javed Rana conducted the hearing at Adiala Jail. The court reserved the verdict of the case after the prosecution team and defence lawyers completed their arguments.

The verdict of the case will be announced on December 23, Monday. The accountability court took almost one year to complete the hearing of the case.

NCA case

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had launched an investigation against Imran Khan and his wife and others for the alleged gain of hundreds of canals of land in the name of Al Qadir University Trust, which reportedly caused a loss of 190 million pounds to the national exchequer.

As per the charges, the former prime minister and others accused allegedly adjusted Rs50 billion — 190 million pounds at the time — sent by Britain’s National Crime Agency (NCA) to the government.

The NAB filed a corruption reference against Imran and seven others, including his wife, in connection with the Al-Qadir University.

The PTI chief registered Trust for Al-Qadir University Project on Dec 26, 2019.
