Imran’s criminal prosecution for false declaration was ordered by the election commission.Imran Khan was found to have produced a fraudulent affidavit and to have engaged in corrupt behaviour.

It has been found that the presents are worth an estimated Rs 142,042,100. The gifts were provided between August 2018 and December 2021.An MNA for the PML-N named Ranjha claims that Khan left out information from his 2018–2019 statement of assets regarding the gifts of watches from Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman.
