The court in Islamabad made that announcement on December 24th, while declaring it guilty of only one of the two cases for which it was tried.

Sharif had appealed that sentence and was released on bail in September.
After the December 24th decision, the judge has ordered authorities to send Sharif to the Adala prison near Islamabad, where he was originally imprisoned.
