The health of Hosni Mubarak deemed "unstable"

For their part, the two son, Gamal and Alaa, arrived Wednesday morning at the Tora prison in southern Cairo, according to security services. They must stay there a fortnight, just like their father. In parallel with the investigation into the violence on demonstrators who had caused eight hundred dead, Hosni Mubarak and son both are suspected of corruption and misappropriation of public funds.

Both Mubarak son grew up in the shadow of paternal power with very different temperaments. The fall of their father on February 11 revealed their differences, according to numerous testimonies: the eve of the resignation of Rais, a violent fight with his brother Alaa contrast, is believed responsible for a disastrous policy of firmness against the revolt.

The younger Gamal, 47, former banker who played a "new guard" face the bosses of the regime, has for years been the face of siblings. Executive officer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), chaired by his father, he strives to make this training a war machine to access one day to the presidency.

But he is seen as the leader of an elite businessmen, corrupt and unpopular. Leaving his brother's political forums, the eldest, Alaa, 49, made a quiet and prosperous career in business, including real estate, rarely appearing in public. Last week, it was called a "thief" by the prosecutor's corruption trial opened against a former minister of housing, Ahmed el-Maghrabi.

"I will respect my legal right to defend my reputation and that of my family," was hammered Hosni Mubarak about the corruption charges against him and his family.
