Zardari's assets in Islamabad to be seized | Action to seize the assets of Pakistan President Asif
Ali Zardari has begun following a National Accountability Bureau (NAB) order asking the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration to freeze all his assets under its jurisdiction. Besides other properties, NAB's latest order would
immediately hit the 2,460 kanals of Sangjani land, which was a frozen asset before
the NRO, but was unfrozen in early 2009 and transferred in the name of a private
company owned by President Zardari, his son Bilawal Zardari and others. The NAB
spokesman
Ghazni said that NAB is acting strictly in accordance with the law and the Supreme
Court's decision and weekly progress reports is regularly being submitted to the
apex court, The News reports. Within a few days of the December 16 short order
of the Supreme Court, the NAB had issued freezing order for the assets of all
other NRO beneficiaries, but in case of Zardari, the NAB did not move apparently
due to his constitutional immunity. However, now after the announcement of the
detailed judgment, which directed NAB and all other concerned authorities to revive
the pre-NRO position in all cases, the NAB has also moved on Zardari's case. |
