Egypt’s ousted president Hosny Mubarak had not left for Germany despite a media report to the contrary, an official Egyptian source told the German Press Agency dpa on Sunday.
The Qatar-based Al Jazeera broadcaster had earlier reported that Mubarak had left the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh for Germany.
The broadcaster cited unnamed sources and gave no further details.
Mubarak has been holed up in Sharm el-Sheikh since he was forced to step down on February 11, after 18 days of countrywide anti- government protests.
The country’s military rulers said last week that Mubarak was under ‘house arrest’ and also denied that Mubarak had left for Saudi Arabia, a safe haven for other exiled former leaders, including Tunisia’s ex-president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
There have been several media reports since Mubarak stepped down claiming that he had travelled abroad.
Mubarak, his wife Suzanne, and two sons Alaa and Gamal, are banned from leaving the country and have had their assets frozen, pending an investigation into corruption and embezzlement.
Mubarak was toppled from his post after nearly 30 years in power.
