Pakistani former Prime Minister Imran Khan got arrested in the eastern city of Lahore today, August 5th, after a court sentenced him to three years in jail over corruption allegations.

A court in Islamabad found him guilty of not declaring money he had earned from selling state gifts during his tenure as prime minister from 2018 to 2022. 

The court also imposed a fine of 100,000 rupees ($451).

The 70-year-old politician is said to have bought and sold the gifts that were received during visits abroad and worth more than 140 million Pakistani rupees ($631,401).

However, Khan has denied any wrongdoing and said he would appeal.
