Mubarak's sons detained in Egypt investigation
Source: The Guardian

Egyptian prosecutors have ordered the detention of the former president's powerful sons to investigate allegations of corruption and the abuse of their authority, Egyptian state television said.

The move, the most dramatic in a series of investigations against top regime officials, comes just hours after former President Hosni Mubarak, 82, was hospitalised with heart problems as he too was to be questioned by prosecutors.

Gamal Mubarak, his younger son, was a top official in the ruling party and was widely seen as being groomed to succeed his father before 18 days of popular protests brought down the regime on February 11.

While the ex-president was in the hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh where he has been living since being removed from power, his sons were taken for questioning to the nearby courthouse by prosecutors from Cairo.
