He is accused to have helped facilitate the opening of 29 “fake” accounts in the Summit Bank, Sindh Bank and United Bank Limited. Earlier, the FIA had summoned Zardari and his sister, asking them to record their statements in the illegal transactions case. FIA official Muhammad Ali Abro asked both Zardari and Talpur to appear before the FIA’s State Bank Circle in Karachi. Instead of appearing personally, Zardari and Talpur had dispatched their lawyers seeking to delay a time until after the elections.
