The court issued arrest warrants for Gilani, Faheem and the then deputy secretary (personal) to PM secretariat, Mohammad Zubair after the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) submitted final investigation reports for the three cases.
The judge of the special federal anti-corruption court-I, Mohammad Azeem, issued the warrants for their arrest and summoned them on June 17. On May 29, the same court had issued warrants for nine suspects including Yousaf Raza Gilani and Makhdoom Amin Faheem in another case of subsidy scam.
Gilani and Faheem along with several former and serving officials of Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) and private persons have been booked for their alleged involvement for approving and disbursing fraudulent trade subsidies of billions of rupees to several fake companies through fictitious claims and backdated cheques.
According to court officials, dozens of cases pertaining to trade subsidy scams against former chairman, ex-chief executive and other senior officials of TDAP and private persons accused were pending before the court. The FIA has so far named the two stalwarts of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in four cases, the official added.
The FIA is likely to submit final charge sheets in seven more cases on Monday.

PMLN is doing this deliberately to divert attention from its own shortcomings, corruption, lack of governance, nepotism, and the clash with institutions. The recent hardline is not coincidental. But Noora league should know that its days are numbered, and cheap stunts will not give oxygen to its illegal government.
Great news. Those who looted country should be behind bars.
The mega corrupts owe hundreds of billions of rupees to the people of this country
met a NAB official 2-3 years ago who said that there are pending cases of Rs 300 billion corruption against Gillani. I wonder when these will be opened by Chairman NAB or become part of deal for PPP support to Naseebo
Crooks. They should be sent behind bars for stealing public money
So it seems the muk muka was only applicable to N & Z. All the rest have to fend for themselves. Ha ha ha.
Law is a farce if its not implemented.
