  Pakistan’s number one corruption cartel leader is Asif Zardari, who did not serve in the government of his wife Benazir Bhutto as much as he used her government in his corruption. And in her government, he made his famous name Mr. Ten Percent, foreign investors who wanted to invest in Pakistan or trade with Pakistan, Asif Zardari used to get a ten percent commission from them. Zardari’s table and chair used to be near the door of Prime Minister Bhutto’s office. Asif Zardari made his fortune from Benazir Bhutto’s Prime Ministership. When Benazir Bhutto became the Prime Minister for the second time, Asif Zardari became the commerce minister in the cabinet, and Mr. Ten Percent Zardari continued his Ten Percent business. President Ghulam Ishaq Khan terminated Benazir Bhutto’s government on charges of corruption.

 When Asif Zardari was the son of Hakim Ali Zardari, he used to sell movie tickets in black in his father’s cinema. And now Asif Zardari was the husband of Benazir Bhutto, his wife was the leader of the biggest party in the country, and she came to the government twice. Zardari used to take ten percent of every commercial and economic deal in his wife’s administration. In Pakistan, Zardari used to sell cinema tickets in black, and there was a Chaiwala in Pakistan’s neighbor India, Narendra Modi has been elected Prime Minister twice and now he is going to become the Prime Minister for the third time. Chaiwala has changed the map of India and has changed people’s lives. But Asif Zardari, who sells cinema tickets in black in Pakistan, has become the president of Pakistan twice, the conditions of the country have deteriorated, people are still there where they were, and there are no changes in their lives.

  In 1998, the Swiss Government handed over documents to the Pakistan government related to corruption allegations against Benazir Bhutto Zardari’s wife, and Asif Ali Zardari. These documents included formal charges of money laundering by Swiss authorities against Zardari. He spent eight years in prison on similar charges. After being released on bail in 2004, he claimed that his time in prison involved torture.

A New York Times investigation report suggested that Zardari had a network of bank accounts linked to the family’s lawyer in Switzerland. The report also alleged that Zardari offered exclusive rights to a French aircraft manufacturer, Dassault, in exchange for a 5% commission paid to a Swiss corporation controlled by him. Additionally, a Dubai company paid him over $10 million into his Dubai-based Citibank accounts.

In 2019, Zardari was arrested on charges of using dozens of fake bank accounts to stash away millions of dollars from Pakistan into overseas accounts.

In 2020, he was charged in two corruption cases: Park Lane Case, Zardari, and his son Bilawal Ali Zardari were accused of purchasing 307 acres of prime property in Islamabad at meager rates using frontmen. Thatta Water Supply Case: A private contractor allegedly illegally awarded project contracts. Bilawal and Asif Zardari maintained that the charges against them were purely political, and they faced intense scrutiny during their political careers. Zardari has consistently denied these allegations, claiming that he has been politically victimized by the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan. He was released on bail on medical grounds in December 2020 after being arrested for corruption. The corruption cases against Zardari began during the tenure of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

 Nawaz Sharif, another prominent leader of Pakistan, has also faced legal corruption cases. Both Asif Zardari and Nawaz Sharif have been entangled in legal battles related to corruption and other charges. These cases reflect the complex political landscape in Pakistan.
