282

An accountability court on Monday extended the judicial remand of former president Asif Ali Zardari and his sister, Faryal Talpur, till September 5 in the money laundering and fake bank accounts case.

Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir, while hearing cases against the two Pakistan Peoples Party leaders, instructed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to provide copies of the money laundering case to the accused and adjourned the hearing till September 5.

Copies of the Park Lane reference were handed over to the suspects during today’s hearing.

Both Zardari and Talpur are being held at Adiala Jail, after they were arrested by the accountability watchdog earlier this year on charges of laundering billions of rupees through fictitious accounts.
