Mubarak retrial begins

A retrial of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak for corruption commenced on Saturday, reports Reuters.

Mr Mubarak, was sentenced to three years in prison last year, which was then overturned in January 2015 due to the medical conditions of the former president who was ousted in 2011.

In November, an Egyptian court dropped further charges against Mr Mubarak of conspiring to kill protesters during the 2011 uprising.
