Pakistan’s anti-corruption watchdog, the National Accountability Bureau, has announced it will reopen a Rs 2 billion corruption case against four retired senior army officers, including a former ISI chief. The land was then used for the development of the Royal Palms Gold and Country Club golf course. The move comes a week after the Islamabad high court ruled that retired military officers could not hide behind the army’s accountability process. Among those involved are retired Lt Gen Javed Ashraf Qazi, who served as the director general of the ISI and retired Lt Gen Saeed Uz Zafar, a former Peshawar corps commander. It recommended fresh bidding for the land and called for strict disciplinary action against the former officers who had endorsed the agreement.
