Re: Did Zardari Kill Bhutto?
In 2003, a Swiss magistrate convicted Zardari and Bhutto, in their absence, of money laundering. They had accepted $US15 million in bribes from Swiss companies SGS and Cotecna to do customs inspections on goods imported into Pakistan. The couple had the Swiss companies pay 6% of the value of their contracts into Bomer Finance Inc and Nassam Overseas, two British Virgin Islands-registered companies with which they were linked. The two were sentenced to six months in prison and ordered to return almost $US12 million to the Government of Pakistan.
First of all, that conviction did not take place in Pakistan. Secondly, a money lanudering conviction does not imply a person is a criminal. Lastly, may I remind you that most of the charges against him were politically motivated. Also, if he was such a crook, why was he let go by Musharraf all of a sudden?
