Egypt Court Frees Hosni Mubarak's Sons Pending Corruption Retrial

Cairo: An Egyptian court ordered Thursday the release of the two sons of ousted president Hosni Mubarak pending a corruption retrial, a judicial official said.

Their lawyer Farid al-Deeb told AFP that Alaa and Gamal Mubarak were free to leave prison after the court order because they had served the maximum pretrial detention period.
