CAIRO, (PIC)-- A top Egyptian judicial official revealed that the interrogation of ousted president Hosni Mubarak about the issue of gas exports to Israel may re-open the file of the gas agreement between the two governments.
The official told the Palestinian information center (PIC) that in the event Mubarak was proved guilty of wasting public money regarding the issue of gas exports to Israel, the whole agreement would be revoked and considered detrimental to Egypt's higher interests.
He said the sole beneficiary of the gas agreement was the former regime and Israel, so it could be canceled or at least would be changed in a way serving Egypt's interests.
The Egyptian public prosecutor Abdulmajeed Mahmoud decided on Friday to extend the detention of Mubarak for 15 days for further investigation.
