This should make Great Zardari very happy. Where does this leave Nawaz Sharif’s lawyer who today quoted the open Swiss cases as the reason for not allowing Great Zardari to become the next President?
Swiss drop charges against Bhutto’s widower - International Herald Tribune
**Swiss drop charges against Zardari.

The Geneva prosecutor says he has dropped money laundering charges against Asif Ali Zardari, widower of the late Pakistani premier Benazir Bhutto and favorite to become the country’s next president. Prosecutor General Daniel Zappelli’s move comes eight months after he dropped charges against the assassinated Bhutto.
Zappelli noted Monday that the Pakistan prosecutor had dropped his corruption cases against Zardari.
Zappelli says Geneva’s 11-year investigation has produced too little for him to continue in light of the Pakistani prosecutor’s conclusion.
He says he had no choice but to close the case. Zappelli says he will give 3.9 million Swiss francs seized in the case to the Geneva government.
