Egypt’s former president Hosni Mubarak has been sentenced to three years in jail on corruption charges after a retrial in Cairo.

His two sons were handed four-year sentences in the same case. All three were charged with the embezzlement of $14m for renovations of presidential residences across the country.

The original conviction was overturned on 13 January over legal procedures.

This was the last case facing Mubarak, who was deposed in the 2011 uprising.

Egypt’s highest court is also due to decide on 4 June whether to allow an appeal against a lower court’s ruling that dropped murder charges against Mubarak.

Local media reports have suggested the ex-president and his sons will not actually spend any time in jail following four years in custody.

The ex-leader remains at Maadi Military Hospital in Cairo.

In April, another former president of Egypt, Mohamed Mursi, was sentenced to 20 years in prison over the death of protesters in 2012.

The verdict followed the earlier sentencing of 22 of his supporters, who were handed the death sentence by a Cairo court for an attack on a police station in 2013.

Mursi, who could also have faced the death penalty, is still to be tried on several other charges.
