Imran submits details of money sent by Jemima in SC

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has submitted documents detailing trail of money sent by his ex-wife, Jemima Goldsmith, to purchase land for his Bani Gala residence in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

The Supreme Court has been hearing a petition filed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi regarding ‘foreign funding’ of the PTI and served notices to Imran Khan and his party in May, over issues relating to money trail surrounding purchase of the PTI chief’s estate in Bani Gala.

The apex court had asked 14 questions from the PTI chairman regarding purchase of Bani Gala land and an offshore firm he owned. This had prompted Imran to contact his ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith, asking for the record of bank transactions for the purchase of land.
