Islamabad: The accountability court Islamabad on Saturday released details of its decision over approval of bail to former president Asif Ali Zardari in the New York apartment case.
According to details, the accountability court issued the detailed judgment in Zardari’s bail application acceptance in the New York property and his fake accounts case filed by the National Accountability Bureau.
