Faryal Talpur appears before NAB in fake accounts case

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Leader of Pakistan Peoples Party, Faryal Talpur has appeared before National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi in connection with a probe into the fake bank accounts case, on Wednesday.

According to reports, Faryal Talpur has been directed to appear before a combined investigation team (CIT) of the bureau today.

Earlier on Tuesday, Faryal Talpur had obtained bail before arrest from the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in the case.

She submitted in her bail petition that she had been asked to appear at the NAB Rawalpindi office at 11am, adding she should be granted bail as she expected that the bureau will arrest her.

Zardari, his sister and other accused are facing charges of laundering more than Rs35 billion through fake bank accounts. Zardari’s close aides Hussain Lawai and Anwar Majeed have also been nominated in the scam. They both are in judicial custody.

Last month, a banking court in Karachi transferred the money laundering case against the former president, his sister and others to Rawalpindi on a request by NAB.
