The Swiss Federal Court ruled to accept an Egyptian appeal to resume internal investigations into suspicion of participation or support of a criminal organization in Mubarak’s obtaining of assets.
Since his ouster in 2011, Egypt has been negotiating with the Swiss government to retrieve Mubarak’s frozen assets through legal routes by proving illegality of means of obtaining them.
Egypt imposed a freeze on Mubarak’s assets abroad after forming a committee to retrieve money smuggled overseas.
