(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The official Nile Television reported on Wednesday that Alaa and Gamal, along with seven other defendants, made illicit gains from the sale of a bank.
Mubarak and his two sons, already in prison, are facing a verdict on June 2 on corruption charges in the first trial. Gamal was once regarded as his father's heir apparent and Alaa was a wealthy businessman.
The former Western-backed dictator is being trialed for charges of complicity in the death of some 900 protesters during the popular revolution last year that ended his three-decade rule. He could get the death penalty if convicted.
The defendants are accused of acquiring a majority of al-Watany Bank shares by buying out small shareholders through front companies without revealing it on the stock market.
The verdict will come at a sensitive time as Mubarak's last premier, Ahmed Shafiq, battles Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohammed Morsi in the country’s presidential election runoff on June 16-17.
