The judge, Daniel Devaud, in his international rogatory letter has issued comprehensive charges against Zardari on allegation of money laundering and also confirmed that the amount of kickbacks received used to be equally shared by Benazir and Zardari, according to a statement issued by Accountability Bureau of Prime Minister's office.

The statement further said that the rogatory letter will be handed over to the Pakistani authorities tomorrow by the Swiss ambassador here but its fax copies have been made available to the bureau.

The judge has mentioned in the letter that a hand-written accounting ledger maintained by a Zardari's frontman mentioned ``50 per cent Asif Ali Zardari, 50 per cent Benazir Bhutto'', the statement said.

The judgealso confirmed the amount of kickbacks was in return for grant of 19.5 billion dollar pre-shipment inspection contract of SSG and COTECNA causing colossal loss to the country.

The chargesheet against Zardari also said he used off-shore companies for receiving commissions against the government contracts during the Benazir Bhutto regime from 1993 to 1996.

In the meantime, Benazir's Pakistan People's Party has demanded judicial inquiry into the misuse of public fund to the tune of 18 million dollars and Rs 2 billion for carrying out ``media trial'' of the former premier and her family.

However, PPP senator, Raza Rabbani, alleged that the Nawaz Sharif government and the accountability bureau is trying to malign the Opposition leader.
