ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will produce former president Asif Ali Zardari before an accountability court in the mega money laundering case today.
The bureau will present Zardari in the court of Accountability Judge Muhammad Arshad Malik upon completion of his physical remand.
The corruption watchdog will likely request an extension in his remand for further interrogation in the case.
At the previous hearing, the court had granted the NAB 11-day physical remand of the former president.
The accountability judge ordered that Zardari be presented before the court again on June 21 (today). The PPP co-chairman was presented in the court a day after his arrest.
NAB demanded 14-day physical remand of Zardari, which was opposed by his counsel Farooq H Naek.
The bureau had also placed on record evidence saying that there were eight solid grounds for his arrest.
The bureau arrested the PPP co-chairman from his Islamabad residence after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) turned down his and his sister Faryal Talpur’s plea for extension in their interim bail in the case on June 10.
Later, the accountability bureau also took Faryal Talpur into its custody and declared her Islamabad residence a sub-jail to detain her on June 14.
