Former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said that he has nothing to do with money laundering. As Speaker and Prime Minister, he has always respected the judiciary.

The court rejected the pleas to arrest Yousuf Raza Gilani and Abdul Ghani Majeed.

During the hearing on the Tosha Khana reference, the NAB informed the court that former President Asif Ali Zardari and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif illegally obtained vehicles from Yousuf Raza Gilani. Asif Zardari paid only 15% of the vehicles, and his money was paid through fake accounts.

According to NAB, Asif Zardari as President also received vehicles from Libya and UAE as gifts. As per reports, Asif Zardari used the vehicles himself instead of depositing them in the treasury.
