ISLAMABAD (AP) — Officials say Pakistan’s imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife pleaded have not guilty in a graft case alleging they accepted a gift of land from a real estate tycoon in exchange for large sums of laundered money. The case is the second to indict Khan and his wife over acts of corruption allegedly committed while the former cricket star turned Islamist politician was in office. Khan was ousted in a no-confidence vote in parliament in April 2022. He insists all the charges against him are a plot by rivals to keep him from returning to office.
