In Wednesday’s hearing in Cairo, Mr. Mubarak’s two sons, one-time heir
apparent Gamal and wealthy businessman Alaa, were also convicted of
graft and sentenced to four years in prison each.
The Mubaraks were convicted of charges that they embezzled millions of
dollars’ worth of state funds in over a decade. The funds were meant for
renovating and maintaining presidential palaces but were instead spent
on upgrading the family’s private residences.
The three were also fined 21.1 million Egyptian pounds ($2.9 million)
and ordered to reimburse 125 million Egyptian pounds ($17.6 million) to
the state treasury.
