Court rejects appeal of Mubaraks in embezzlement sentencing Mubarak and his sons were charged with the embezzlement of at least EGP 125 m in public funds
The Court of Appeals rejected the appeal of the three-year prison sentence issued in May 2015 to former president Hosni Mubarak and his two sons, Gamal and Alaa Mubarak, on Saturday. Between May's sentencing and appellate court's decision, the Mubaraks had been released on bail while investigations continued in the case. Mubarak is currently staying at the Military hospital for medical supervision. In May, Cairo Criminal Court sentenced the Mubaraks to three years in prison without parole. They were accused of embezzling EGP 125m in public funds allocated for the renovation of presidential palaces to upgrade family properties. They were required to pay a fine of EGP 125,779 and binding them to return EGP 21.1m. Mubarak's sons were charged with aiding their father in the seizure process.
