The Muslim Brotherhood's supreme guide, Mohamed Badie, has denied a litany of charges he faced after being arrested in a Nasr City apartment early Tuesday.
Prosecutors headed to Tora prison to interrogate Mohamed Badie on charges of inciting violence, torturing and detaining protesters and collaborating with a foreign entity.
Badie also faces charges of spying for third parties to create chaos in the country, threatening Egyptian national security, terrorizing citizens, attacking police stations, targeting the army and police forces, as well as burning churches to breed sedition.
He is further charged with receiving illegal funds from abroad, particularly from Qatar, in order to finance the Muslim Brotherhood.
Badie denied all charges.
The Interior Ministry had earlier announced Badie's arrest in an apartment in Nasr City, where citizens reported seeing the prominent Brotherhood official.
