Court of Cassation acquits Mubarak-era chief of staff Zakaria Azmy on corruption case

The Court of Cassation acquitted Hosni Mubarak’s chief of staff Zakria Azmi on Saturday from all charges of graft and corruption brought against him in 2011, Al Borsa reports. The decision reverses a seven-year sentence and EGP 36 mn fine issued by the Cairo Criminal Court in 2012. Azmi’s brother in-law Gamal Halawa was also found not guilty. Reuters also has the story.
