Zardari’s arrest Warrants in mega money laundering case issued

Author: Agencies

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday issued warrants for the arrest of former president and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari in the mega money laundering case.

NAB Chairman Justice (r) Javed Iqbal gave approval for issue of arrest warrants for the former president.

The bureau will submit the warrants to an Islamabad High Court (IHC) bench hearing Zardari’s bail petitions on June 10, requesting it to allow the corruption watchdog to arrest him for investigation into the case.

Earlier on Thursday, the Islamabad High Court had extended the bail of the former president and his sister Faryal Talpur till June 10 in the money laundering case.

During the hearing, the court came down hard on Investigating Officer Muhammad Ali Abro for giving contradictory statements. “A responsible person should appear in court instead,” one member of the bench had said.

“Asif Zardari is directly involved in fake bank accounts case and the bureau has enough evidence to arrest him,” the NAB officials had said, and also submitted record of the case in the court.
