CAIRO: A source close to the family of former Egypt President Hosni Mubarak told the state-owned Roz el-Youssef newspaper that Mubarak is threatening to reveal “secrets” and “information” if transferred to Tora Prison in Cairo.
The source added in the report that the former dictator would expose “things that would make many people unhappy, before the court” if he is taken from his current place of stay during his trial.
According to the report, a Kuwaiti lawyer for the Mubarak family said that there has not been any official decision to transfer Mubarak to Tora prison, and that the lawyer plans to file a lawsuit against the decision if attempted to be implemented.
Mubarak reportedly asked his wife Suzanne to hand over a letter written by Mubarak to senior officials, protesting the decision to transfer him to the prison hospital at Tora and asked to be “treated as a president,” or to be kept at a military hospital, stressing that he is “still a senior officer in the army [and] in accordance with the military law, must be hospitalized at a military camp or a hospital, under security measures and guardianship.”
The report said that Mubarak signed his letter as the current president of Egypt, at the request of his lawyer, who asked him to use this signature in all of his letters, without fear, considering Mubarak, the president of Egypt who “delegated his authorities to the military to administer the state on his behalf.”
