According to a report in a leading French newspaper, investigations have revealed that Zardari received 4.3 million dollars in kickbacks from the sale of three Agosta 90 submarines for 825 million euros (approx. 1.237 billion dollars at current exchange rate).
The newspaper said that Pakistani National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was alerted about the massive scam way back in 2001.
The British authorities told the NAB that Zardari had received several large payments into his Swiss bank accounts from a Lebanese businessman, Abdulrahman el-Assir, during 1994 and 1995.
According to a former official of French naval defence company DCN, French authorities had selected Assir to act as intermediary in the deal, The Nation reports.

He allegedly deposited a total of 1.3 million dollars in Zardari’s bank accounts between August 15 and 30, 1994, a month before the submarine deal was finalised. An additional 1.2 million dollars and 1.8 million dollars were deposited in Zardari’s account a year later.
The newspaper report also revealed that investigators believe that the non-payment of the full amount of the agreed kickbacks may have led to the deaths of 11 French national in a suicide attack in Karachi in 2002. (ANI)

Jang Group has just published a sensational story where Pakistani Ambassador to UK and NRO beneficiary Wajid Shams-ul-Hassan has paid a secret visit to Switzerland and has got possession of the original documents/evidence that were used President Asif Ali Zardari in money laundering case.
Pakistani High Commissioner in Britain Wajid Shamsul Hasan headed a secret operation in Geneva and received at least 12 cartons comprising the original documents and evidences against some Pakistani high-ups in Swiss money laundering case, Geo News reported Tuesday.

According to Geo News correspondent, the Prosecutor General of Pakistan in Geneva deposited these cartons in the era of former President Pervez Musharraf.
The sources said the secret operation was carried out at the bidding of a top personality of Pakistan, as these evidences could be used if Swiss Money Laundering case is reopened after the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) terms comes to an end.

The sources at Pakistan embassy said if the concerned officials or the courts do not interfere by taking the evidences back from Wajid, then these documents would be wasted for good.
The secret operation begins at 9am on Monday when Wajid arrived in Pak High Commission’s car along with NAB’s senior official Danishwar Malik at the office of Prosecutor General in Geneva.

According to sources, the Prosecutor General kept refusing to give the documents for some hours, as nobody from Pakistan embassy was formally receiving them.
It should be mentioned here that after the NRO, these cases were closed. However now that the term of NRO is over, it was all the more likely that these cases could be re-opened and these evidences could be employed against Zardari.

No body should RUN AWAY from the facts,The way SM and Saleh Zafar have handled PPP leadership is not just for the sake of criticism or Love for Pakistan but its rather personal prejudiced against PPP leadership.They are fuelling fire on ethnic basis as well,which will create more fissures in society.No body is against criticism and similarly no body has right to create more rifts in society through personalized biased attacks on any leadership or ethnic group.

Sure he is accountable to his family.

However, its not my concern. Similarly, I dont care if AZ was a ‘good’ husband or a father.

However, it is definitely my concern when AZ is taking Pakistan’s wealth and distributing it among his family and friends. He, as President, is making decision which only benefit few but screw majority of Pakistanis and the next generations is definitely my concern

Bro,President AZ is accountable for all actions,He needs criticism if he goes wrong…but I wouls say either Those who wants to destabilize democratic system, or those actually keep Biased Anti AZ or anti PPP mindset see only refuge in Hate and propaganda against them.

Criticism is healthy for society but a prejudiced and PREPOSSESSED comments only serve the purpose of more disharmony and clash in society and therefore Impartial and neutral criticism should be welcome but a prejudiced and hate campaign should be discouraged which bring No good society but more widening rifts.

You think SM is not accountable to his wife and innocent child?????

yes SM is so you mean AZ is also accountable to his family only?

You think SM is not accountable to his wife and innocent child?????

Just shoot the messenger and hope people will ignore the message.

SM may be evil, corrupt, stupid, jahil etc etc, however, he is not responsible for anyone.

AZ, being the President of Pakistan and Boss of Gelani is responsible for all the Pakistanis and their future.

There is a big difference !!
