CAIRO - Egypt's Justice Minister Mohamed Abdel-Aziz el-Guindi denied Saturday there are any plans for reconciliation with or pardoning figures in the toppled regime of Hosni Mubarak, revealing that the wife of the ousted President could be re-detained if charges of amassing ill-gotten gaining are proved against her. "We will not pardon the devils who deliberately destroyed Egypt," el-Guindi stressed, adding that corruption has ended and will never come back. El-Guindi, who took over early in March, questioned the significance of staging a million-man march next Friday against reconciliation with figures of the former regime, including Mubarak. "The law will be applied to all Egyptians without any discrimination. Violations have become impossible," the Minister said. He explained that the release of Suzanne Mubarak, the wife of the former President, after she handed over all her assets to the State, does not mean the cancelling of her trial on charges of illegally amassing funds. "If there are more reports against Suzanne about making ill-gotten gains, she could be questioned and might be jailed again," commented el-Guindi. Mrs Mubarak was released last week by the Illicit Gains Authority after handing over assets worth LE24 million ($4 million). However, it was announced at the time that the charges against the former First Lady had not been dropped. On Friday, thousands of Egyptians gathered in central Cairo's Al Tahrir Square, the epicentre of protests that toppled the former leader, calling for the prosecution of Mubarak and his aides. The gathering, dubbed 'Saving the Revolution', followed in the wake of reports that Mubarak would be pardoned and Suzanne released. The Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which has been running the country since Mubarak was forced from office in February, dismissed such reports as 'rumours' and said it had no plans to pardon the former President.
