Activists and lawyers on Tuesday filed a complaint with the attorney general, demanding an investigation of certain members of the deposed Mubarak regime they accuse of political corruption and involvement in a deal to sell Egyptian natural gas to Israel.
The filers allege that former intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, former Foreign Minister Amr Moussa and former Prime Minister Atef Ebeid abused their powers to pressure the government to pass a deal favorable to business tycoon Hussein Salem, a confidant of ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
Judicial sources say that documents proving the officials’ involvement are attached to the complaint.
