An Egyptian court on Thursday acquitted Hosni Mubarak’s
last Prime Minister, Ahmed Shafik, and his two sons in one
of several cases of financial corruption brought against
them since the veteran autocrat was toppled in 2011.
Another court was expected to rule later in a separate
case of corruption against Shafik, who left the country in
2012 after losing to the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed
Morsi in a presidential election.
The acquittal in the case Shafik faced might encourage
him to return to Egypt, but the prosecutor could yet appeal
against Thursday’s ruling.
The cases were brought against Shafik after his defeat by
Morsi, who was deposed by the army in July following
mass protests against his rule.
