Benazir and her alleged agent Jens Schlegelmilch had recorded their statements before the examining magistrate, Geneva Attorney General Daniel Zappelli and counsels for the Government of Pakistan on September 19. Benazir, her husband Asif Ali Zaradari and Jens Schlegelmilch had been indicted in the SGS money laundering scandal and given six-month suspended jail.
Zaradri did not appear before the court, pleading that he had health problems, but the magistrate rejected the excuse, the officials said. |
