The Supreme State Security Prosecution renewed the imprisonment of businessman and Muslim Brotherhood leader Hassan Malik for 15 more days pending investigations.
Malik is accused of harming national security and the economy, in addition to leading a banned group (the Muslim Brotherhood).
Homeland Security has accused Malik and Karam Abdel-Wahab, the owner of foreign exchange broker, of harming the Egyptian economy through collecting foreign currencies and smuggling them out of the country.
In October, security forces arrest Malik from inside his house and referred him to the criminal prosecution with others, on charges of “directing the Muslim Brotherhood to defy the state during the dispersal of the Rabaa Al-Adaweya sit-in and create chaos in the country”.
