Rawalpindi:  A Pakistan court on Friday convicted former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in a landmark graft case.

"The prosecution has proven its case. Khan is convicted," said Judge Nasir Javed Rana, announcing a 14 year prison term for Khan and a seven year prison term for Bibi.

The judge announced the verdict in a makeshift court set up in Adila jail. 

This is Khan's fifth sentence since his ouster from power in a 2022 parliamentary vote. He is in prison since 2023 after he was found guilty in four different cases from corruption to misuse of power and violating the Islamic wedding rules. Khan has denied charges in each case. In the past year, higher courts have overturned three of his earlier convictions, while suspending a fourth one. Khan remains in jail as trials are underway in several other cases.

The former cricket star faces more than 150 cases, from corruption to inciting violence.

In the latest conviction, Khan was accused of using the money meant for Pakistan's treasury to pay fines for businessman Riaz in another court case. In return, Riaz gave land to Khan and his wife.

Since removed from power, Khan's political party has led several protest movements, without success, demanding his release from jail and new elections. The candidates loyal to Khan won the most seats in national election in February but failed to form a government as rivals including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif cobbled up a coalition government.
