The family of former president Hosni Mubarak has reimbursed state-owned newspaper Gomhoreya LE1.4 million for gifts they had previously received from the publication, Mostafa El-Hosseiny, public funds prosecutor-general told Ahram Online.

Former prime minister Ahmed Nazif is also being accused of receiving gifts worth almost LE200,000.

Egypt's public funds prosecution had ordered Gomhoreya to ask key ex-regime figures for reimbursement for gifts they had received from the newspaper between 2007 and 2011.
