On 23 July 1998, the Swiss Government handed over documents to the government of Pakistan which relate to corruption allegations against Benazir Bhutto and her husband. The documents included a formal charge of money laundering by Swiss authorities against Zardari.

Shazad (below) If you saw my other posts you would not have made this assertion. I only seek the truth in all matters. I don't care where it leads.

Thank you for asking this, I have been screaming this all morning long. She was way more corrupt than Musharif. take a look at her family and you will see a long history of corruption. On a side note, Pakistan was far more stable before her return.

The ground reality of Pakistan needs Musharraf in power with full glory.I feel sad that Benazir Bhutto was assassinated today. But. was there any possibility of stabilising Pakistan in this volatile situation it has been through lately.Everyone knows that in Pak politics the Army has the final say and no one can administer Pak without pleasing the Pak Army/ISI.
Benazir could hardly been a good replacement of Musharraf who was a dictator with Army backing.That's what suits Pakistan politics.

To answer your question, Pakistan appeared to have two options: Musharaf, or Bhutto. The people loved Bhutto, she favored America and the west and appeared more democratic. We all know what Musharaf represents, being a former military leader and now leader of the country is dangerous, he has complete control of it at this point.
A formal charge of money laundering does not equal guilt, nor does money laundering imply a lack of democracy, it is just corruption, and like it or not in a place like Pakistan you get ahead through corruption. Just ask their current leader.

I think that in spite of this, many saw her as an answer to the authoritarianism of Musharraf and as the person who could possibly finally bring the militants to heel. India it seems, in spite of bad past relationship with her, credited her with improving relations between the two nations. The Kashmir situation has recently been overshadowed by Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, but it's still a potential source of serious conflict.

Many Pakistanis regarded her as too much of an American puppet, she was indeed accused of corruption, whether it was true of not, I don't think she was convicted, at least not by anything that could be regarded a judicial process.
Whether she was more or less corrupt that the current dictator is debatable.
As we know "evidence" can be faked, she was still held in high regard by people that know far more than me.

why does anyone look to Pakistan for anything other a nuke power that harbors bin Laden amongst Taliban encampments?
this is the third or fourth question..looking for something in Bhutto's death to string a thread of demagoguery today

Guilty or just suspected? Just trying to add "perspective".
