Sharbat Gula, who appeared in the iconic "Afghan Girl" image on a National Geographic magazine cover, was arrested in Pakistan for identity fraud on Wednesday.

She now faces up to 14 years in prison and a fine of several thousand dollars, according to Agence-France Presse.

Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency had been investigating Gula since 2014 for living in Pakistan with fake ID cards as part of a nationwide crackdown on the practice. She used the name Sharbat Bibi, officials said.

"FIA along with security forces came, entered her house, searched all belongings and took important papers including $2,800," her brother-in-law, Shahshad Khan, told Reuters. He claimed that she was living in Pakistan legally.
