CAIRO- Jailed politician and businessman Hisham Talaat Moustafa Tuesday denied an accusation by his broyher in-law that he had beaten him during a recent visit to him in prison. Ihab Mohamed Madi said Moustafa, the ex-chairman of Egypt's biggest listed property developer Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG) , kicked and insulted him in the presence of Moustafa's family. The incident happened while the family was visiting Moustafa in jail during the first week of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Madi refused to back down when the family appealed to him to drop the complaint, saying: "How can I compromise for a person who refused to apologize to me?" According to Madi, the clash started when he intervened in an argument between his wife Sahar and Moustafa. Sahar is the only member of Moustafa's family who regularly attends his court hearings. Moustafa, an ex-MP in the ruling party, was found guilty in 2009 and sentenced to death for his role in the murder of a Lebanese singer in 2008, a trial that gripped the Arab world. The conviction was overturned on appeal and a retrial ordered. Moustafa's trial will resume next month.
