harif, 68, had been sentenced to 10 years in jail in a corruption case by an accountability court in May this year, but the Islamabad High Court suspended the conviction in September.
A Pakistani anti-corruption court on Monday jailed former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for seven years on graft charges he says were politically motivated.
The court found the three-time prime minister was unable to prove the source of income for the ownership of a steel mill in Saudi Arabia, Geo News reported.
Sharif, who was removed from office last year after being disqualified from serving his third stint as prime minister was accused of possessing assets beyond his known sources of income.
Sharif was sentenced to 10 years in prison in July over the purchase of luxury apartments in London.
He appealed that sentence and was released on bail in September.
