Former PM Hisham Kandil arrested

Egyptian authorities arrested former Prime Minister Hisham Kandil on Tuesday, a security source said.

Last September, a court sentenced Kandil to one year in prison after he had failed to carry out a court ruling for the Nile Cotton Ginning Company.

A prosecutor has started taking necessary procedures to carry out the court ruling against Kandil, a judicial source said.

This time the verdict is final and cannot be appealed, the source added.
