(AGI/NAN)
The Egyptian Court of Appeal has annulled the acquittal of former President Hosni Mubarak and set his retrial for Nov. 15.
Mubarak will face charges over the killing of protesters during the revolution of January 2011, as well as corruption and embezzlement of state funds.
The court upheld the appeal of the prosecutor and quashed all the acquittal verdicts of the Assize Court for the former president, his sons Alaa and Gamal and his party colleagues.
Others to stand trial alongside the 87 year-old former leader are fugitive businessman, Hussein Salem, former Interior Minister, Habib el Adli, and six of his assistants.
The new trials will open before the same Court of Appeal and the verdicts will be final, absolute and irrevocable, reported a local news agency.
Mubarak, who led Egypt with an iron fist for three decades, has already spent three years in prison on other charges.
In May, another court sentenced him and his two sons to three years without parole in a new corruption trial.
