PNN – The Court of Accounts of Pakistan, which was supposed to issue the final decision regarding the corruption case against “Imran Khan” and his wife today (Monday), postponed this decision for another four days.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network from Pakistan National Television, Judge Nasser Javed Rana, the chairman of the Accounts Court session, was supposed to announce the final verdict on the corruption case against the former prime minister and his wife inside the Rawalpindi prison where Imran Khan has been imprisoned since the summer of 2023.
