France will act on a request from Egypt to freeze the assets of toppled president Hosni Mubarak and his family, the French foreign ministry said on Wednesday. Egypt's foreign ministry told its embassies across the Arab world and Western countries on Tuesday to seek a freeze on the assets of the ousted leader, his wife, their two sons and their wives.
France's foreign ministry said in a statement it had asked for the request to be passed on "immediately" to the relevant authorities in France and said the aim was to ensure a favourable outcome. (Reuters)
