A close aide and foster brother of former president Asif Ali Zardari has been reportedly arrested by Interpol in Dubai.

According to Geo News, Owais Muzaffar was arrested on Monday night and is accused of the illegal sale of government land. He is expected to be extradited to Pakistan soon.

Last year investigators probing the money laundering case had informed the Supreme Court that a large amount of the illegal money went into an account maintained by Owais Muzaffar Tappi.

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Saeed Ghani said he found out about Owais Muzaffar’s arrest from television channels and was trying to confirm these reports.
