Egyptian court orders arrest of sons of former president Hosni Mubarak in stock market manipulation case
[AlAhram] Mubarak's sons were arrested at the court and ordered transfer to the Tora prison. The defendants were initially put on trial for the case in May 2012, but the case was suspended in 2013 so that the prosecution could include other defendants. Seven others have also been charged along with Mubarak’s sons in the case. Last March, the court again delayed the trial for three months, pending the results of a detailed report by a specialized committee on the case, according to an earlier court rule. Mubarak, who was ousted following Egypt's 2011 revolution, was convicted by a lower court on corruption charges with his two sons. In May 2015, a court sentenced Gamal and Alaa to three years in jail over embezzling at least EGP 125 million ($16 million in 2015) from funds earmarked for maintenance of presidential palaces.
