Sixty judges were referred to the disciplinary committee calling for their dismissal after they signed a statement supporting the Muslim Brotherhood as a political faction, according to state-run Al-Ahram.
Investigations showed a number of people were guilty of “incitement” for preparing the statement. Those facing disciplinary action include former Minister of Justice Ahmed Mekki and his brother, former Vice President Mahmoud Mekki, and Head of the Central Auditing Authority Hesham Genina.
Investigations will continue in cooperation with the people involved in preparing the statement in the coming days after the investigations with the judges are over.
