Egypt’s former president Hosni Mubarak has been officially detained for a period of 15 days for investigation on accusations of corruption just hours after he was taken to hospital.
Egypt’s Prosecutor General Abdel Meguid Mahmoud announced Wednesday that former president Mubarak is being detained for questioning over embezzling public funds and abuse of power for using force against protesters during anti-government demonstrations earlier this year. The move followed the detention of his two sons, Alaa and Gamal, hours earlier.
Mr. Mubarak spent the night in the presidential suite of the Sharm el-Sheikh general hospital. Al Arabiya TV indicated that he may be taken to a military hospital closer to Cairo for further questioning.
Egyptian TV reported that the former president had a heart attack during questioning Tuesday. Egypt’s justice minister indicated that the former president’s questioning continued after his hospitalization.
Mr. Mubarak’s two sons were reportedly flown by private plane to Cairo early Wednesday, where they were transferred to Toura Prison near the suburb of Helwan. Cairo media also reported that the two were transported in a police van after their interrogation Tuesday.
Counselor Timor Kamel of Egypt’s Administrative Prosecution Department said that the former president would be questioned over political, criminal and financial matters. He said that Mr. Mubarak will be questioned over the killing of protesters during January’s demonstrations, administrative corruption and squandering of public money.
