Investigation confirms Mubarak drove up Egypt’s debt

Judicial sources said that investigations into the financial affairs of deposed President Hosni Mubarak reveal that he was the primary cause of Egypt’s high level of national debt.

However, during questioning by prosecutors, Mubarak denied the allegation, saying that he had always requested his ministers to work on reducing the national debt.

Mubarak is facing a third session of questioning, during which he will be quizzed on further charges.

In a related development, medical sources at Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital, where Mubarak is being detained, said that his condition is stable and much better than before.
