January 17, 2013 00:19

AP reports: An Egyptian prosecutor says oustedPresident Hosni Mubarak and his family paid back $3 million for gifts they received from a state newspaper while he was still in office.

The gifts, including watches, bags and jewellery, were a traditional show of loyalty by the Al-Ahram daily. Prosecutor Mustafa Hussein said today he accepted an offer from Mubarak's lawyer to settle the case over the gifts.

Mubarak was questioned about the gifts on Saturday and Hussein ordered a 15-day detention for him, pending further interrogations.
