RAWALPINDI: The high-profile £190 million corruption case against incarcerated former prime minister Imran Khan and his spouse Bushra Bibi has entered its final stage as the couple recorded its statement under Section 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). Accountability Court Judge Nasir Javed Rana presided over the hearing of the graft case against the ex-prime minister at Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi on Monday. The 71-year-old cricketer-turned-politician has been behind bars since August last year after he was sentenced in Toshakhana case-I — one of the dozens cases registered against the former premier since his ouster from power in April 2022. At the outset of today’s hearing, the PTI founder was produced before the court while the former first lady was also present in the courtroom after skipping almost 10 hearings. The judge suspended non-bailable arrest warrants for the former first lady after she appeared before the court. Khan’s wife told the judge that she did not want to present any witness in her favour before the court. Meanwhile, the court adjourned the hearing till December 12. During the previous hearing, Khan and his spouse, who was recently released on bail, were been given a 14-page questionnaire in the settlement case. The questionnaire, which contains 79 questions related to the reference, was provided for their final statements under Section 342 of the CrPC, 1898. In the questionnaire — a copy of which is available with Geo News, the court asked the PTI founder whether he and his associates illegally obtained “monetary benefits” — which include land measuring 458 kanals — and, in return, facilitated the “illegal and dishonest transfer/adjustment of £171.159 million out of £190 million, meant for the State of Pakistan”.The court while citing evidence said co-accused Shahzad Akbar — former special assistant on accountability — “in-connivance and active knowledge” of Khan malafidely floated a note dated December 2, 2019, to the deposed prime minister.
