Sometime during the prime-ministerial reign of Benazir Bhutto, bank accounts were opened in her and her husband’s name in Switzerland and it is suspected that laundered money was transferred in them. It seems very unlikely that the prime minister herself would have performed any illegal acts. However, the possibility that her personal business/financial managers might have been involved in unlawful activities without her knowledge can not be ignored. If so, those faceless men have brought disgrace to both Benazir and the Pakistani nation and they must not be spared. The Swiss cases must be reopened and the men and women who conspired to use the name of respectable Pakistanis to achieve their own foul ends must be given exemplary punishment and the name of Benazir Bhutto must be cleared.
I fully endorse the wisdom of the Supreme Court of Pakistan to reopen the Swiss cases and appeal to the government of Pakistan to act on the verdict without wasting time-- in greater national interest.
