NAB decides to withdraw petitions against Asif Zardari’s acquittal

Staff Reporter
ISLAMABAD: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has decided to withdraw petitions against acquittal of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari. The anti-graft watchdog, in its petitions in Islamabad High Court (IHC), says that further prosecution of the case will be a futile effort as available evidence is not as per legal standards and requirements.
The graft-buster body has decided to withdraw appeals in corruption cases registered against PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari 25 years ago.
In this context, a plea has been filed in the Islamabad High Court seeking the withdrawal of four appeals against Asif Ali Zardari.
