Egypt court rulings pave way for former PM Shafik's return
Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister, Ahmed Shafik, will soon be free to return from self-imposed exile and perhaps make a political comeback after Egyptian courts on Thursday acquitted him in one corruption case and shelved another.
Shafik left Egypt last year after being defeated in the presidential election by Mohamed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood politician since overthrown by the army and now on trial for conspiracy and inciting violence while in office. (Reuters)
