A Cairo court has accepted the appeal presented by ex-PM Hisham Qandil and reversed his one-year jail sentence.
In September 2013 the Cairo Misdemeanour Court upheld a ruling against former Prime Minister Qandil sentencing him to one year in prison for failing to implement the Administrative Court verdict ordering the re-nationalisation of the Tanta Flax and Oil Company.
Qandil served as the prime minister of Egypt from August 2012 to July 2013 during the presidency of Mohamed Morsi.
He left office after the ouster of the Islamist president on 3 July, 2013.
