FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
A Swiss magistrate in 2003 had convicted in absentia Mr Zardari, his wife,
Benazir Bhutto, and mother-in-law Nusrat Bhutto of laundering millions of
dollars in kickbacks from Swiss firms.
Benazir Bhutto, a former two-time prime minister, was assassinated in
Rawalpindi in December 2007, while her mother died of ill health at a Dubai
hospital last October.
They appealed the conviction and the Swiss authorities dropped the charges at
the request of the Pakistani government in 2008, shortly after Mr Zardari’s
PPP won a general election.
Mr Gilani appeared three times in person at the court’s orders, but in
December announced his intention not to comply with the court orders, saying
that would be tantamount to “putting the grave of Benazir Bhutto on trial”.
The Swiss case was reinstated in 2009, after the Supreme Court struck down the
National Reconciliation Ordinance, a 2007 law that granted amnesty to
politicians to facilitate a transition to democracy after eight years of
military rule by Pervez Musharraf.
The Supreme Court has since been a thorn in the government’s side, regularly
initiating proceedings against government decisions — usually on the basis
of reports in Pakistani newspapers openly hostile to the government.
