*RAWALPINDI: An anti-terrorism court here on Tuesday took notice of withdrawal of funds from the two frozen bank accounts of former president Pervez Musharraf.*
The ATC issued a notice to the station house officer (SHO) of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) police station to explain as to who did withdraw the funds and how did it happen?
The court summoned the above report in addition to details of Musharraf’s properties until Feb 15.
Earlier, the ATC had declared the former military ruler an absconder in the Benazir Bhutto murder case over his perpetual absence from the trial proceedings and ordered his assets to be frozen.
After a marathon trial, the ATC on August 31, 2017 announced the verdict in the December 27, 2007 assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, declaring Musharraf an absconder while acquitting five accused said to be associated with banned outfit over lack of evidence*. *
The court also ordered confiscation of the movable and immovable property of Musharraf. The five suspects – Rafaqat Hussain, Hasnain Gul, Sher Zaman, Aitzaz Shah and Abdul Rasheed – were exonerated from the murder charges.
