CAIRO: Egypt’s ousted president Hosni Mubarak denied in a recorded speech aired on Al-Arabiya channel all corruption allegations against him, confirming that neither he nor his family posses any assets abroad.
"I feel deep sorrow and pain for the allegations against me and my family aiming to defame my integrity my political and military honor that I used for serving Egypt at times of peace and war," Mubarak said.
Mubarak said he couldn’t stay silent over the unfair accusations against him and his family. He was waiting until the truth reached the prosecutor General from all foreign ministries allover the world to confirm that he didn’t own any assets abroad.
"Based on my financial disclosure report that confirms that I do not own any assets abroad, I agree to present any documents, reports or signatures that would help the Prosecutor General ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to reveal any assets owned by me or my wife abroad," Mubarak said.
He said procedures will show that the sources and assets of his sons’ wealth were not marred by misuse of power or illegal profiteering.
Mubarak said he retained the full right to sue whoever smeared his or his family’s reputation.
