Zardari set to get 3 million pounds richer from sale proceeds of Surrey Palace

London, Sept 22 (ANI): Only a few legal formalities are left after which newly?elected

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari would pocket nearly three million pounds from the

Pakistani exchequer, the sale proceeds of Surrey Palace the Rockwood House ? which

was sold through a liquidator in 2004 after Zardari and his slain spouse Benazir Bhutto

were found guilty of corruption.

The total worth of the mansion today is estimated to be around 8.5 million pounds. That

family in 1995 for 2.5 million pounds during Bhutto
