Judicial sources revealed the Swiss public prosecutor carried out intensive investigations with the chairman of Suzanne Mubarak's Movement for Woman and Islam, Aliaa el-Bendary, and its members, Waleed Shash and Sherif Tantawi, who are accused of money laundering by using the organization's name to smuggle political figures' money.
There is a direct relation between the former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Aliaa, who is the main accused in the case of money laundering of Mubarak's family's money in Switzerland.
There are claims Mubarak called Aliaa from the presidential palace sometime from February 1 to February 28, Mubarak made six calls to Switzerland, three to Aliaa el-Bendary.
Sources mentioned it is expected the Swiss public prosecutor will release a decision to investigate all members of the association, including more than 100 Arabs and Egyptians, including the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq el-Hariri's sister, Bahya El Hariri; Jordanian Queen Rania; Ambassador Mervat el-Telawy; former Minister of Social Affairs, Amina el-Gendy; the General Secretariat of National Council for Woman and others.

At 7:00 A.M, when the enemy was defeated, Abdel Nasser released a decision to promote Fathi Abdlallah and his soldiers. Abdallah said the media described Israel as a legend, which is false compared to the battlefield during the War of Attrition and the October War in 1973.
Al-Akhbar:
The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) spokesman, Mahmoud Ghozlan, said the group didn't submit a check to Egypt's ruling military council and the release of the constitutional announcement in secret raises many questions.
Ghozlan pointed out Egyptian presidential candidate, Hazim Abu Ismail, is not a member of the MB until the group expels him. He added Egypt's media is controlled by a minority and doesn't have a national base and they attack the MB for no legitimate reason.
He said the Leftists are eroded and have no influence on the public. He said the MB is ready to be subjected to censorship and has nothing to hide. The group doesn't have any national project concerning establishing state facilities but there are hospitals and related schools to the MB, established by funds.
