Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been sentenced to three years in jail on corruption charges after a retrial in Cairo.
His two sons, Gamal and Alaa were given four-year jail terms in the same case.
Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for 30 years, and his sons Gamal and Alaa may not have to serve any jail time for those corruption charges because they already spent that amount of time in prison in other cases.
Mubarak was toppled from the presidency in the 2011 uprising. Last May, he was sentenced to three years in prison on charges of diverting public funds earmarked to renovate presidential palaces and using the money to upgrade family properties.
Egypt’s highest court is also due to decide on 4th June whether to allow an appeal against a lower court’s ruling that dropped murder charges against Mubarak.
