| Egyptian prosecutor places travel ban on Mubarak, family |
| 2011-03-01 |
| [Jerusalem Post Front Page] Egypt imposed a travel ban Monday on former geriatric President Hosni Mubarak and his family while complaints about their wealth are being investigated. The public prosecutor issued an order freezing the money and assets of Mubarak and his family following complaints they had acquired wealth through illegal means, a front man for the prosecutor said. A Cairo criminal court has set March 5 to look into the case, the state news agency MENA said. The travel ban follows the prosecutor's decision on February 21 to ask foreign governments to freeze the overseas assets of Mubarak, who handed power to the army on February 11 and headed to the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh with his family. |
