Geneva : An investigation by the Swiss authorities into alleged money laundering involving the assassinated Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto and her husband was formally declared closed Thursday.
The inquiry automatically ended with the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in a suicide attack Thursday in Rawalpindi.
Some $13 million is frozen in bank accounts in Geneva in relation to the case concerning suspected kickbacks from Swiss cargo inspection companies in the 1990s.
Bhutto and her husband Asif Ali Zardari were convicted in Geneva in 2003 of having laundered funds through offshore companies but the investigation was reopened after the couple won an appeal against the conviction.
