Asif Zardari as Corrupt President of Pakistan
BY PETER GILL Allegedly one of Pakistan’s most corrupt politicians, Asif Ali Zardari has been elected president by the Pakistani parliament and provincial assemblies. All remaining corruption charges against him were dropped in the months leading up to his election. What follows is a brief history of the criminal and corruption charges which have linked him with fraud, money-laundering, receiving bribes, and even murder. 1990 Arrested on charges of blackmail. Accused of attaching a bomb to a Pakistani businessman, forcing him to withdraw money from his bank account. Charges dropped in 1993 when wife Benazir BhuttoBenazir Bhutto becomes Prime Minister for the second time. Serves as Minister for the Environment from 1993-1996. 1993 Murtaza Bhutto, brother of Benazir, confronts Zardari over bringing the Pakistan People’s Party into disrepute over corrupt activities. Meeting ends acrimoniously with Murtaza Bhutto famously shaving off half of Zardari’s moustache. It is widely believed that Zardari used police connections to have Murtaza Bhutto assassinated in 1996. 1995 Opens Citibank account which Swiss investigators allege passed some USD 40m in illegal payoffs from foreign companies doing business in Pakistan. Includes a one-time payoff of USD 10m from a West Asia gold bullion dealer in return for a monopoly on Pakistan gold imports. 1997 Zardari and Bhutto allegedly receive USD 2m in kickbacks relating to the purchase of 8,000 Polish tractors as part of the Awami Tractor Scheme. 1997-2004 Imprisoned in Pakistan on corruption charges and in connection with the murder of Judge Nizam Ahmed in 1996. Granted bail in November 2004 but was re-arrested on 21 December 2004 after failing to attend a hearing in the Nizam Ahmed case. Zardari alleges that he was tortured during his seven-year confinement - charges backed by human rights groups. 1998 Swiss Government gives Pakistan government documents relating to corruption allegations against Zardari and wife, Benazir Bhutto involving USD 13.7m in laundered money. French authorities reveal that Zardari proposed to give Dassault Aviation exclusive rights to replace Pakistani airforce fighter jets in return for a 5% commission. 1998-1999 Enquiry conducted by Pakistan’s Public Accounts Committee into two counts of fraud worth nearly USD 3.3m over the purchase of helicopters. The case referred to the National Accountability Bureau in 2000-02 but no action was taken. August 2003 Swiss magistrates find Zardari and Bhutto guilty of money laundering, sentencing them to six-month suspended jail terms, a fine of $50,000 and ordering them to pay USD 11m to the Pakistani government. August 2004 Admitted to owning a 365-acre estate in England, including a 20-room mansion, which Pakistani authorities allege was bought with the proceeds of corruption. October 2006 Application to halt corruption proceedings thrown out by Pakistan court. Gained the nickname “Mr. Ten-percent” after the cut he allegedly received from a series of corrupt business deals. March 2008 Five different corruption cases against Zardari dropped by judges appointed by President Pervez MusharrafPresident Pervez Musharraf. Charges in connection with the murder of Justice Nizam Ahmed were also dropped. August 2008 All cases against Zardari in Swiss courts dropped at the request of Pakistani authorities. USD 60m in allegedly laundered money restored. Zardari denies the money is his. 6 September 2008 Zardari elected President of Pakistan, winning 479 from 702 votes from lawmakers in both houses of parliament and four state assemblies.

Politics in our part of the world have been dominated by a couple of Dynasties so even if the present lot dies their siblings will take over from them so I don't believe that we'll be able to see any real change.

well our nation wont react you are right,to me it wont react at once....our nation remains in deep slumber till some external factors make us realise what has just happend to us.in the scenario which you have drawn we'd have two such external sources i.e Media & the World the reason why i mentioned media as an outsider is because some how it has acquired the status of being indifferent n orienting.and its becoming a wider spread practice here that people are looking towards media to help,if not exclusively,to farm thier opinions(for what else our nation as a whole refer to for knowledge or guidence,its niether books nor education). And The Reason Why We'd React This Way Is: it is said "Most of the people ignore history because most of the history ignores most of the people" so is tha case of Pakistan's politics as well as politicians who've always been oblivious to the existence of thier subjects n their interests... regards

It is indeed sad that we would be celebrating the death of our politicians. It really is pathetic to suppose such a situation. We never look at ourselves and wish death for all.
For deciding worth of our leaders we need any published thing to claim as gospel truth. Every publish word is taken as true to the extent that even we don't how to talk about the symbol of our federation.
