Federal Invest-igation Agency (FIA) on Tuesday summoned former President Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur to appear before it to record their statements in a money laundering case on Wednesday (today).
Notices were issued by FIA State Bank Circle under Section 160 Cr.PC to PPP leaders to record their statements on July 11 pertaining to suspicious bank transactions through fake bank accounts. The issuance of notices to PPP leaders came a day after Supreme Court barred Asif Ali Zardari and Faryal Talpur from leaving the country after it emerged that suspicious transactions were made through benami accounts, which benefited Zardari Group.
Two notices issued separately to Asif Ali Zardari and Faryal Talpur stated that Rs 15, 000,000 were credited in account titled Zardari Group (Pvt) Ltd and ordered both to appear in FIA Banking Circle to record their statements to explain their position in relation to the accounts and transactions.
However, no one from Bilawal House received the notice sent to Asif Ali Zardari, subsequently the notice was pasted on the outer wall of the Bilawal House. As well as FIA notice to Faryal Talpur was concerned, it was received by an assistant of Faryal Talpur at her residence.
