Egyptian Prosecutor General Abdel Meguid Mahmoud asked the governor of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) to freeze the assets of 25 former ministers, businessmen and public figures, pending investigations into corruption charges.
Among those whose assets are to be frozen are former Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif, former Military Production Minister Sayyed Meshaal, former Health Minister Hatem al-Gebali, as well as former National Democratic Party member and businessman Mohamed Abdul Enein.
Meanwhile, Egyptian news websites listed names of people whose assets should be frozen. The names included former President Hosni Mubarak's son Gamal Mubarak, Magdi Rasekh (the father-in-law of the president’s other son, Alaa Mubarak), the former Transport Minister’s brother Yassin Mansour, and businessman Hussein Salem, who was known to have had close relations with the former president.
