DUBAI: A close aide and foster brother of former president Asif Ali Zardari has been arrested Interpol, sources revealed to Geo News.
Owais Muzaffar was arrested on Monday night and is accused of the illegal sale of government land. He is expected to be extradited to Pakistan soon.
Last year investigators probing the money laundering case had informed the Supreme Court that a large amount of the illegal money went into an account maintained by Owais Muzaffar Tappi.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Saeed Ghani said he found out about Owais Muzaffar’s arrest from television channels and was trying to confirm these reports.
Senior Journalist Mazhar Abbas speaking to Geo News said there are serious allegations against Owais Muzaffar and his arrest may lead to a major breakthrough for the National Accountability Bureau.
“If he has been arrested and is extradited within the next few weeks, this would be a major blow for the PPP and Asif Ali Zardari,” said Abbas.
“When he [Owais Muzaffar] was an MPA, he was asked by Asif Ali Zardari to leave Pakistan,” senior journalist Hamid Mir said.
According to Hamid Mir, no one from Zardari’s family was in contact with Owais Muzaffar Tappi. "He does not have any information pertaining to the last two-three years," Mir added.
