GENEVA (AFP) — Swiss authorities on Monday shelved a long-running probe into alleged money laundering against slain former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto and her husband, Swiss news agency ATS reported.

Bhutto, who was assassinated in December, and Zardari were suspected of using Swiss bank accounts to launder about 12 million dollars (8.4 million euros) in alleged bribes paid by companies seeking customs inspection contracts in Pakistan in the 1990s.
