        Cairo, 3 Zulqa’dah 1434/8 September 2013 (MINA) –  A joint committee formed by Egyptian Authorities has started to examine the financial disclosure of Egypt’s ousted president Mohamed Morsi, his wife and children, in order to make a report about the family’s wealth and assets.

        The committee by the Public Funds Investigation and Administrative Control Authority  is expected to finish its work over the next two days, Egypt’s Ahram reported as monitored by Mi’raj News Agency (MINA).

         Egypt’s prosecutor-general opened on Saturday an investigation into Morsi’s wealth, after a report was filed by the head of an anti-corruption association accusing the ousted president of taking personal advantage of his position, despite Muslim Brotherhood has denied such accusation.

        They accused Morsi as well as squandering LE2 billion ($285.7 million) during his election campaign.

        A judicial source told Ahram Online’s Arabic gate the committee’s mission includes an inventory of the properties of the former president, his wife and children, in all of the Egyptian governorates, including land and real estate.

         The family’s banks accounts will also be examined, as well as shares in the stock market, if they exist.

         In July, Egyptian prosecutors froze the assets of 14 prominent Islamists of parties, including Muslim Brotherhood leaders, as part of investigations into accusation of ‘incitement of violence’ at protests which has no prove untill now.(T/P03/E1)
