Khan will be brought before an anti-graft court on Wednesday, GEO TV said. The NAB issued Khan's arrest warrant on May 1, according to an order seen by Reuters news agency, which read: 'Khan is accused of commission of the offence of corruption and corrupt practices.' It is understood that the funds and land were given to the couple through the Al-Qadir Trust, which had only two trustees: Khan and his wife. The couple, along with their close aides Zulfiqar Bukhari and Babar Awan, were involved in the Al-Qadir University Project Trust, which is currently building the Al-Qadir University in Sohawa, Pakistan near Islamabad.Īccording to reports in the country, the trust was formed by Khan, Bushra Bibi, Bukhari, and Awan with the intention of importing quality education into the region. Sanaullah said Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi then received the land, as well as 5 billion rupees from Bahria Town (an Islamabad-based real estate company) for 'providing protection' to the real estate firm. He added that British authorities had returned 190 million pounds to Pakistan in connection with money laundering, which Khan then returned to the land developer instead of keeping it in the national exchequer. He said the charges against Khan were that he and his wife had received land worth up to 7 billion rupees (£19.5billion) from a land developer that had been charged with money laundering by British authorities. In most of the cases, Khan faces being barred from holding public office if convicted. More than 100 cases - including corruption and terrorism - have been registered against Khan since he was ousted from power in April last year. His arrest follows months of political crisis and comes hours after the powerful military rebuked the former international cricketer for alleging a senior officer had been involved in a plot to kill him, which saw an assassination attempt last year. Security agents dragged Khan outside and shoved him into an armoured car before whisking him away, dramatic video showed, sparking outrage from his supporters across the country. It is understood that his arrest was in relation to the accusation that he, his wife and other associates made a financial settlement between his ruling government and a property tycoon that caused a loss of £190 billion to the treasury.
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested Tuesday as he appeared in a court in the country's capital, Islamabad, to face charges in multiple graft cases.
