Egypt's Hosni Mubarak jailed in corruption retrial

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been sentenced to three years in jail on corruption charges after a retrial in Cairo.

His sons were given four years each in the same case which centres on the embezzlement of $14m (£9.3m) earmarked for renovation of presidential palaces.

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

This was the last court case hanging over Mubarak, who was toppled in the 2011 uprising.
