Former president Asif Ali Zardari wants back jewellery of his late wife Benazir Bhutto, which was seized by Swiss authorities.
According to media reports, the PPP leader has applied for the return of the jewellery worth over 300,000 dollars through an offshore company.
The Government of Pakistan has been informed by its lawyer in Switzerland, about the latest move by Zardari.
The ornaments were seized in 1997, during the course of investigation of a corruption scandal.
The lawyer has sought guidance of the government so that he could submit reply with the Swiss attorney, who sought Islamabad’s response within ten days.
Benazir Bhutto is a former prime minister of Pakistan with two tenures, 1988-1990 and 93-96, who was assassinated in 2007 in a militant attack. She is also the first female prime minister of country.
