Cairo: Assets of Egypt’s ousted president Hosni Mubarak have beeb frozen by the Public prosecutor on Monday.
The prosecutor also issued a travel ban on Mubarak and his family.
The order also freezes their money and assets, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office said.
Mr Mubarak stepped down on 11 February, after almost 30 years in power, in the wake of escalating public protests.
He is believed to be in poor health, living in his villa in Sharm el-Sheikh, but has not been seen or heard of publicly since stepping down.
He handed power to the military, which appointed an interim government to write a new constitution and hold elections.
According to media reports said the prosecutor’s office said the travel ban and asset freeze was issued while complaints against the Mubarak family were being investigated.
Protesters and anti-corruption campaigners have been pressing for an investigation into the Mubarak family’s assets.
