CAIRO: A Cairo court on Wednesday decided to detain ousted President Hosni Mubarak for 15 more days pending investigations into charges of graft, reported the news channel Al Jazeera. Mubarak's lawyers are pushing for his release and a retrial that could see the former dictator freed. It comes as a Cairo appeals court has set May 14 for the first hearing of the retrial of Hosni Mubarak's Interior Minister Habib al-Adly in graft and money-laundering charges. Egypt's Cassation Court had ordered the retrial of the former minister after accepting his appeal on his sentence in March. A criminal court had sentenced Adly to 12 years in prison and fined him four million Egyptian pounds and eight-hundred fifty-three Egyptian pounds for graft charges and nine million and twenty-six pounds for money-laundering. A court last month acquitted the ousted president of graft charges. In addition, a criminal court had acquitted Mubarak from charges of killing protesters during the uprising that overthrew him in 2011, but the prosecution requested that he remains in custody pending investigations over graft charges.
