Egypt: Mubarak son says family clear of corruption charges

CAIRO (AP) — The son of Egypt’s former president claimed Tuesday that he and family members were innocent of corruption charges made in international courts after the country’s 2011 popular uprising, after and courts last month in Switzerland and a European Union ruled in the family’s favor. The announcement by Gamal Mubarak, the son of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, came after years of attempts by the deposed president’s family to rehabilitate its image as it faced litigation in Egypt and abroad. In the 20-minute long video released online and titled “Mubarak family statement on the successful conclusion of all international judicial proceedings,” he portrayed the family’s legal issues as resolved.
