Former president Mubarak and his sons (Google image)
Cairo (IINA) – An Egyptian court on Saturday upheld a three-year jail sentence against former President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons on charges of graft, but the trio is unlikely to be imprisoned again having already served the jail terms.
In May, an Egyptian court sentenced Mubarak and his sons to three years in jail without parole in a retrial on charges of diverting public funds and using the money to upgrade family properties.
The three will have to pay a fine of 125 million Egyptian pounds ($15.96 million) and return 21 million pounds to the state treasury. Mubarak and his sons had paid 104 million during the trial period, Reuters reported citing a court source.
Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for 30 years before he was ousted in a popular uprising in 2011, and his sons Gamal and Alaa have already spent at least three years each in prison in other cases.
