NAB arrests Zardari’s close aide Aftab Memon in Islamabad

F.P. Report

RAWALPINDI: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday has arrested Aftab Memon in Islamabad.

According to details, NAB Rawalpindi arrested Aftab Memon from Islamabad and he will be presented before an accountability court today to seek his physical remand.

The close aide of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Asif Ali Zardari is accused of illegally allotting land to frontmen of political personalities.

Earlier on Thursday, in an interview with BBC Urdu, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari criticized NAB and said it “was only created to pressurize political parties. If the rule of law was established, there would be no problem today.”

NAB has initiated investigation against PPP leaders and even arrested some in corruption cases.

Last month, Sindh Assembly Speaker and PPP leader Agha Siraj Durrani was arrested for accumulating assets beyond means.
