The Cairo Criminal Court on Tuesday handed down sentences to former Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif, former Interior Minister Habib El-Adli and former Minister of Finance Yousuf Botrus Ghali over car number plate case.
Nazif was given a suspended one-year jail, while Adli and Ghali were sentenced to five years and ten years respectively.
The three were also ordered to return to the state some 92 million Egyptian pounds (about 15.5 million U.S. dollars).
Nazif was charged with granting a German company a contract worth 92 million Egyptian pounds to manufacture car plates for the Interior Ministry, without using public auction as required according to law.
Adli had been sentenced to 12 years in jail in another corruption case in May. Ghali, who fled after the mass protests, had also been sentenced to 30 years in jail in a separate case.
