Egypt court orders retrial in Mubarak embezzlement case

CAIRO - An Egyptian court ordered on Tuesday a retrial in an embezzlement case against Hosni Mubarak, dropping the only remaining conviction faced by the ousted former president and potentially leading to his release.

 

Mubarak was sentenced to three years in jail in May for stealing public funds to renovate family properties. He has been serving that sentence in a military hospital in Cairo.

 

Now a retrial has been ordered, judicial sources say Mubarak could walk free as no convictions against him remain.
