A Pakistani court on Wednesday reserved its judgment in the 190 million pounds Al-Qadir Trust case against former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.
Judge Nasir Javed Rana of the anti-corruption court heard the case and reserved the judgment, which he would announce on December 23, the Geo News reported.
The case concluded after lawyers from both the prosecution and defence teams completed their arguments.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in December 2023 filed the case against Khan (72), Bibi (50) and six others, accusing them of causing a loss to the tune of 190 million pounds (PRs50 billion) to the national kitty.
However, Khan and Bibi have been prosecuted as all others, including a property tycoon, were out of the country.
Both Khan and Bibi are accused in the case, which revolves around allegations that PRs50 billion, returned to Pakistan by the UK’s National Crime Agency as part of a settlement with a property tycoon was misused.
The funds were reportedly intended for the national treasury but were allegedly redirected for the personal benefit of the businessman who helped Bibi and Khan to set up a university.
Bibi, as a trustee of the Al-Qadir Trust, is accused of benefiting from this settlement, including acquiring 458 kanals of land for Al-Qadir University in Jhelum.
