Lawyer denies, issuing arrest warrants for Zardari in money-laundering case

Bilawal House on Friday contradicted news about Asif Zardari’s arrest warrants by Karachi Banking Court in money laundering scam.

Asif Zardari’s lawyer, Farooq H. Naek, denied the reports of his client’s arrest warrant.

Earlier today, Karachi’s Banking Court issued arrest warrants of PPP Co-Chairman and Former President, Asif Ali Zardari in money laundering scam.

The court while issuing non-bailable arrest warrants of Zardari has directed to produce him on September 4. Arrest directives of other absconders namely Naseer Abdullah, Aslam Masood, Arif Khan, Noreen Sultan, Adnan Javed and others have also been issued. The Federal Investigation Agency is investigating 32 people in relation to money laundering from fictitious accounts, including Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur.

Zardari’s close aide Hussain Lawai was arrested last month in connection with the probe.
