ISLAMABAD -The interim government removed the names of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur from the Exit Control List (ECL) on Wednesday.
The move came after the chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) remarked that they were not suspects in a money laundering case.
Following the orders of apex court, the interior ministry removed their names and sent a notification to all the relevant authorities.
The names of Zardari and Faryal Talpur were placed on the ECL by the FIA in a case relating to a Rs34 billion money laundering scheme that involved three banks – Sindh Bank, UBL and Summit Bank.
