As for as I know Zardari and Gillani both spent combined 16 years in jail & Zardari was never convicted of anything at all.

1. I am sure if the duo is convicted and a prison verdict is announced against them the served time will be deducted from the total sentence.

2. This served time does not by any means absolve the duo from the financial liability the owe to the people of Pakistan who are claimant to the 60 million dollars which were received as a commission from SGS/Cotecna. There is another 1.8 billion dollars present in Zardari personal accounts in Switzerland for which the people of Pakistan suspect that the money belongs to them. There was a case of possession of assets beyond his means by the people of pakistan against Mr. Zardari. Both these cases were closed due to NRO which was declared void ab-initio by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. The immunity at best could defer the hearing/investigation of these cases for the time Mr. Zardari remains the President.. but complete withdrawal of cases due to NRO does not exactly fall under the preview of immunity..
