ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan president Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday secured interim bail from the Islamabad High Court in six corruption cases that are being probed by the country’s anti-corruption watchdog.
The 63-year-old Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairperson is named in 36 inquiries and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) claims that his role has been established in at least eight cases, according to an 11-page report submitted by the bureau to the court on Tuesday.
A two-judge bench led by Justice Umar Farooq heard the cases regarding Zardari’s pre-arrest bail in six different cases before granting interim bail to him and his sister Faryal Talpur. (AGENCIES)
