Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi Speak Out in £190M Trust Dispute
Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi deny corruption allegations in the £190M Al-Qadir Trust case, labeling them as politically motivated attempts to discredit their family and party.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, testified in the £190 million Al-Qadir Trust case on Monday, dismissing corruption allegations as politically motivated. The case involves the transfer of £190 million from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) to Pakistan, with accusations that the couple unlawfully benefited from the funds.
Key Points
-
Khan's Defense:
- Imran Khan claimed the funds were part of a settlement between the NCA and Malik Riaz’s family, with no personal gain for him or his wife.
- He argued that the charges were fabricated by his political opponents in collaboration with state institutions to discredit him and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
-
Allegations of Political Vendetta:
- Khan accused the ruling coalition and former military establishment of orchestrating a no-confidence motion in April 2022 to remove him from power.
- He described the corruption cases, including the Al-Qadir Trust dispute, as part of a campaign to undermine his political career.
-
Statement:
- “After my government was removed through a regime-change operation, a campaign of baseless cases against me and my family began. This case is a prime example of political victimisation,” Khan said during his testimony.
