An Afghan national was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Friday after an anti-terrorism court in Peshawar, Pakistan, found him guilty of smuggling over 3kg gold across the border.
The accused, Idrees, was charged and found guilty under various sections of Pakistan’s money-laundering laws.
Idrees was arrested in August last year and has until now been held in custody, Pakistan’s News International reported.
The court also fined Idrees Rs96 million ($630,000) and ordered his deportation once his sentence has been served.
