Egypt Court Sentences former Preident, Hosni Mubarak to 3 Years in Prison for Corruption
An Egyptian court on Wednesday sentenced deposed 86 year old president Hosni Mubarak to three years in prison on corruption charges, in one of two trials after the 2011 uprising that ended his rule. His sons Alaa and Gamal each received four-year jail terms, and four other defendants were acquitted.
They were accused of embezzling more than one hundred million Egyptian pounds (about $14 million, 10 million euros) earmarked for the maintenance of presidential palaces.
