Letter sent to Swiss AG to reopen Zardari cases: NAB

ISLAMABAD: A letter has been sent to Switzerland’s Attorney-General to reopen corruption cases against President Asif Ali Zardari, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) lawyer Abid Zuberi told the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

“In light of directions of the court on the revival of the Swiss cases, the NAB has initiated the process,” Zuberi said.

Asif Zardari and Benazir Bhutto were convicted by a Geneva court in 2003 of laundering $13 million linked to kickbacks. But that verdict was thrown out on appeal.
