The committee that was formed to repatriate money siphoned abroad froze assets on Monday belonging to ousted President Hosni Mubarak and his family, said Assem al-Gohary, head of the Illicit Gains Authority (IGA).
On 29 September, the committee became a plaintiff in the case in which Mubarak’s sons, Alaa and Gamal, former Tourism Minister Zoheir Garrana and businessman Yasin Mansour are accused of creating a gang to launder money abroad.
“Mubarak’s son has US$352.5 million in Switzerland,” Gohary said at a press conference on Thursday.
He also said that Gamal Mubarak has shares in US and European companies worth 3.3 British pounds, and another US$44.5 in BNB Bank, which Gohary called “change.”
Commenting on statements by Mubarak’s lawyer, Farid al-Deeb, that Swiss authorities closed Alaa Mubarak’s money laundering case in 2006, Gohary said: “this proves that he was implicated.”
