Senegal ex-president's son Karim Wade Arrested in Corruption Probe

BBC News has reported that Police in Senegal have arrested Karim Wade,the son of former President Abdoulaye Wade on suspicion of corruption.
Karim Wade is suspected of illegally amassing about $1.4bn (£900m) during his father's rule.Karim was a senior minister during his father's rule from 2000 to 2012, and was in charge of major infrastructure and energy projects.
He is among five former ministers whom prosecutors said they would investigate last year.
In March 2012, Macky Sall won the presidency from Abdoulaye Wade and pledged to fight corruption.

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak wins petition but will remain in custody

Although an appeal court granted his appeal Monday, technically freeing him in the case involving the killing of nonviolent protesters during the 2011 uprising that brought him down, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will remain behind bars in connection with newer corruption charges that were added to the older allegations.
The retrial was supposed to begin on Saturday, but was delayed after the judge disqualified himself and walked out, leaving the court without leadership. The appeals court has 60 days to appoint a new judge for the trial, lawyers said.
The judge did not give an official reason for recusing himself.
Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for 30 years with the help of the military, was found guilty in June 2012 of ordering the killing of protesters and was to serve a life sentence. But a court accepted an appeal, resulting in the retrial.
