Egypt puts former presidential candidate Shafik on watch list

Via Almaktoob

Wednesday pending an investigation of alleged corruption, a

judiciary source said.

"The investigative judge decided to put General Ahmed

Shafik's name on the watch and travel ban lists based on

investigations over his illegal allocation of 40,000 square

metres of land... to Alaa and Gamal Mubarak," Judge Osama

el-Saeidy said.

Shafik, last prime minister under former president Hosni

Mubarak who was ousted by an uprising last year, left Egypt

shortly after his Islamist opponent Mohamed Mursi was declared

President in June. Mubarak's two sons Alaa and Gamal are now in

prison facing other corruption charges.
