Islamabad: An accountability court on Monday extended the physical remand of former President Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur till August 8 in a money laundering case worth Rs 4.4 billion.
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had sought a 10-day physical remand of Zardari.
Zardari was first arrested by the NAB in June after the Islamabad High Court recalled the pre-arrest bail granted to him and his sister in the fake accounts case.
Zardari and his sister have denied any links with the fake accounts. The two have the option of appealing the order in the Supreme Court.
