Law ministry prepares summary on Swiss cases

ISLAMABAD: The law ministry on Thursday sent the summary regarding the reopening of the Swiss cases against President Asif Ali Zardari to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, sources told.

Letter to reopen cases against the president cannot be sent to another country, the summary reportedly stated.

Television reports quoted the law ministry as categorically stating that the cases could not be reopened. Doing so would endanger the country’s sovereignty, the ministry was quoted as saying.

The ministry, in a five-point summary, expressed reservations regarding the cases’ reopening. The summary was prepared on the apex court’s directives.

The summary added that according to the law, no incumbent president can be prosecuted in any other country.
