ISLAMABAD:
Hearing of fake bank accounts case and money laundering against former president Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur have been adjourned till May 21 by the accountability court.

Accountability Court Judge Arshad Malik remarked that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had failed to provide copies of the reference filed against the suspects.

“How will [they] even run the trial when they have not even provided the copies of the reference [to the suspects],” the judge remarked.

These remarks were said in the presence of Zardari and his sister. The former’s summons was postponed too which concerned Harish and Company case. The shady transaction is said to fund his Naudero residence.

NAB officials say that Harish and Company was the front company to Park Lane Estate which led to a loss of Rs60 million to the national exchequer.
