Imran Khan 'Illegally' Sold 7 More Toshakhana Watches: Report
The new allegations against former PM Imran Khan surface ahead of his court appearance in the Toshakhana case next month. Khan has stated that all cases against him are "politically motivated".
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is in jail since last May, allegedly received and sold seven watches linked to the state repository, or 'Toshakhana', during his time as the country's leader, Pakistani news reported, citing the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The NAB report claimed that 10 "expensive" gifts were received and sold by Khan during his tenure as PM, without reporting them to authorities.
It claimed that Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, also received and "retained" a watch, ring and a necklace, without notifying the authorities.
The report also noted that the gifts in question were retained at "considerably lower rates".
“During the course of the inquiry, it was revealed that the value of luxury gift items was assessed in an unscrupulous and slipshod manner by a private appraiser... was not even an industry expert and did not possess the required experience or expertise to make these assessments,” Geo News quoted the NAB report finding.
The NAB findings stated a Graff watch set gifted to Khan was sold by Khan to one Mohammad Shafiq for approximately $184,000. The report claimed that the selling price of the watch was found to be much higher.
Pakistan's laws mandate that gifts above a certain value received by the Prime Minister and the First Lady must be reported to the Toshakhana.
Khan and Bushra Bibi have already been
convicted in the Toshakhana case. However, their convictions were suspended by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) last year, though their appeals are pending before the court.
Khan's appeal is set to be heard on 24 June, while Bushra Bibi's case is set to come up in the court on 4 June, as reported by Geo News.
The country's Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) had instituted a corruption probe against Khan in April 2022, days after he was toppled as country's Prime Minister in a parliamentary no-confidence vote he claimed was
orchestrated by the US as part of a "foreign conspiracy".
Khan, who is facing probes in over 100 cases since his ouster as PM, has claimed that all cases against him are "politically-motivated".
