Egypt Mubarak-era minister jailed for corruption

An Egyptian court on Sunday had Hosni Mubarak Cabinet minister decreed to three years in jail after declaring him of corruption.

A businessman and used to be tourism Minister Zohair Garanah has recently been executing a five-year jail term for enabling investors to illegally own state land. His first decree was passed by the Cairo court on the 10^th of May.

The Egyptian law states, he will render active service the longer of two sentences.

Garanah's most recent conviction came immediately after the sentencing on Thursday of steel magnate Ahmed Ezz to 10 whole years in jail right after his conviction of corruption. Ezz was a very forceful insider in Mubarak's now-ruined overcoming party and a trustworthy helper to Mubarak's younger son and only one-time heir visibly Gamal.
