Swiss judge upset over dropped Zardari probe Updated at: 2330 PST, Thursday, August 28, 2008 GENEVA: A Swiss judge who investigated Asif Ali Zardari, co-chairman of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), for alleged money laundering said Thursday he is disappointed the case has been dropped at the request of Pakistani authorities.

Daniel Devaud, the Swiss magistrate who brought charges in 1998 against Zardari and Bhutto, then Pakistan's prime minister, said the probe should have continued, even if Pakistan was no longer interested in pursuing the case.

This week, Geneva prosecutor Daniel Zappelli announced he was dropping any further investigation of Zardari because authorities in Pakistan, where the probe began, were no longer pursuing the case, which they regarded as unneeded and politically motivated.
