Million dollar money laundering case against Bhutto closed

Geneva - A Swiss investigation into alleged money laundering involving the assassinated Pakistani opposition leader Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and her husband was formally declared closed Thursday. The inquiry automatically ended with the death of Bhutto in a shooting and suicide bombing attack, the Swiss wire agency ATS, SDA reported.

Some 13 million dollars is frozen in bank accounts in Geneva in relation to the case concerning suspected kickbacks from Swiss cargo inspection companies in the 1990s.

Bhutto and her husband Asif Ali Zardari were convicted in Geneva in 2003 of having laundered funds through offshore companies but the investigation was reopened after the couple won an appeal against the conviction.
