KARACHI: An Anti-Corruption court on Thursday ordered arrest of two of the biggest leaders of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Yousaf Raza Gilani and Makhdoom Amin Fahim.
The court ruled that the Gilani and Fahim be presented before court on September 10.
The order against the former prime minister and the senior PPP leader was issued after the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) presented a challan (charge sheet) with 12 cases — relating to multi-million rupee scandal in the Trade Development Authority (TDAP) — registered against the two before the court.
The cases against Fahim, another PPP leader and some former and serving senior officials of the TDAP were registered by the FIA for their alleged involvement in approving and disbursing fraudulent trade subsidies of millions of rupees to several fake companies through fictitious claims and backdated cheques.
