Ahmed Shafiq, Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister and loser of the presidential runoff, left Egypt Tuesday with most of his family for the United Arab Emirates hours after the prosecutor general opened an investigation into allegations he wasted public funds during his 8-year term as a civil aviation minister in the ousted regime.

You do realize there may be a legitimate complaint against him right? Or is he immune to being investigated for some reason?

Anyway, can't say I'm sorry to see him gone. He isn't exactly helping his case, what happened to respecting the judiciary?

I think he'll be back to Egypt and the investigations will exonerate him, eventually......

I mean he must've got a piece of the MB/SCAF presidential cake

I am a Copt myself and to be honest I always thought it will be a lot harder for the moderate Muslims (The REAL moderate ones, not the ones that claim to be so) than it will be for Copts under the MB's ruling, at least for a while. It is a bit vague at the moment but the signs are not promising as some of the do gooders have tried to force their opinions on Mulsim females' dress code already, but no Copts have reported such behavior towards them, not yet anyway.

The way I see it? The official statement will be that Copts are partners and brothers and sisters and the rest of the blah blah blah, and that will be the case ALL the time, but in reality, there are 2 scenarios:

1- Law WILL be enforced strictly on hate/sectarian crimes.
2- Law will be there, but with no real enforcement.

And you can imagine what scenario I'm hoping for

Wasat Party vice president and former MP Essam Sultan has accused unnamed entities of being responsible for allowing Ahmed Shafiq, the defeated presidential candidate, to travel to the UAE carrying a cargo estimated at 7,110 kilograms without it being subject to inspection.
