A Cairo court Wednesday handed down a three-year jail sentence for former president Hosni Mubarak on charges of fraudulently spending millions of dollars on his private residences.
The ousted leader’s sons Gamal and Alaa both received four-year sentences in the case, in which the three were accused of embezzling more than 100 million Egyptian pounds (14 million dollars) of public money.
They were also jointly fined 125 million pounds (17.5 million dollars).
Mubarak is also undergoing a retrial on separate charges of involvement in the killing of demonstrators during the 2011 popular uprising that ended his three decade rule.
A Cairo court in June 2012 sentenced him to life imprisonment on those charges, but the judgment was overturned on appeal.
