During her tenure as prime minster of Pakistan (1988-1990, 1993-1996) her and her husband use take kickbacks in return for contracts and favors. That's to say they had Swiss bank accounts and then some. She was so crooked that France
changed it's bribery laws and made it illegal for a French company to bribe foreign nationals (the French law use to apply only to French citizens and entities).
When Bhutto first started making waves in the media a few months ago I was laughing my ass off as they propped her up as some kind of a hero and savior. I was appalled when they put her in the same class as Aung San Suu Kyi.
