Charges and verdicts against Egypt's Mubarak
Court had sentenced Mubarak to life over the protesters' killings
CAIRO (AFP) - After his overthrow in a popular uprising in early 2011, prosecutors filed several charges against former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.
Months after his ouster, Mubarak was put on trial along with seven of his security commanders on charges of inciting the murder of some of the 800 protesters killed during the revolt against his rule.
His two sons, Alaa and Gamal, were also defendants in the trial, facing corruption charges along with Mubarak.
In 2012, a court sentenced Mubarak to life over the protesters killings, but an appeals court overturned that verdict on technical grounds and ordered a retrial.
In November 2013, a court dropped the murder charge against him and also acquitted seven of his former security commanders, including his feared interior minister Habib Al-Adly.
He and his sons were also acquitted of corruption charges.
Mubarak, his sons and four other defendants were put on trial on separate charges of corruption for embezzling more than 100 million Egyptian pounds ($14 million, 12 million euros) earmarked for the maintenance of presidential palaces.
In May 2014, a lower court convicted him and his sons, and sentenced Mubarak to three years in prison and his sons to four years in prison.
The four other co-defendants were acquitted.
Mubarak s defence team filed an appeal against the verdict, and on Monday the Court of Cassation overturned that verdict and ordered a retrial.
