Mubarak's sons stand trial in stock manipulation case | Egypt's South Cairo Court on Monday started the trial of former President Hosni
Mubarak's sons, Gamal and Alaa, over stock manipulation. The prosecution accused both
Alaa and Gamal and other seven defendants of embezzling huge amounts of money from
selling the Egyptian National Bank and controlling its shares in the stock- exchange.
The civil plaintiffs asked for compensation from the defendants while the defendants
demanded an adequate amount of time to study the case. Gamal and Alaa' lawyer
Fareed al-Deeb asked the court to release them on bail pending trial. Alaa and
Gamal were acquitted on June 2 in a land deal case, as the charges had passed
the period of 10 years for legal action. Mubarak and his former Interior Minster
Habib al-Adli were sentenced to life terms for charges of failing to stop the
killing of protesters in the demonstration last year. The 84-year-old former president
is now being treated in a military hospital in southern Cairo after serving 17
days in Tora Prison.
