Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, who was tried for political corruption as well as inciting the public to hatred and enmity, was arrested after a bribery case at the Islamabad High Court in the capital, Islamabad. It was reported that Khan was dragged out of court.
As Khan entered the courthouse, a brawl broke out between his supporters and the security forces. Riot police were present at the scene to maintain order.
Andriy Portnov, former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, was shot dead in Madrid’s upscale Pozuelo de Alarcon district. Spanish authorities say unidentified gunmen opened fire as the 52-year-old was dropping off his children at school, striking him in the back and head before fleeing.
Portnov, a former MP and lawyer, fled Ukraine with Yanukovych in 2014, briefly returned in 2019, and was later sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged judicial corruption.
