Egypt ousted prosecutor general unravels Brotherhood ‘secrets’.(AA).In a highly controversial statement that followed his ouster at the hands of President Mohammed Mursi, former Egyptian Prosecutor General Abdel Meguid Mahmoud opened fire on the Muslim Brotherhood and unveiled long-hidden information he claimed to have known about the group throughout his career. “Since I had started working as deputy prosecutor general, I noticed that members of the Muslim Brotherhood’s small cells were always the target of arrests while this was not the case with the group’s senior leaders,” Mahmoud said Saturday in a speech he delivered at the Cairo Judges Club where more than 10,000 judges met to condemn a new constitutional declaration issued by Mursi that undermines the independence of the judiciary. In reference to the collaboration between the Muslim Brotherhood and the former regime, Mahmoud called upon the new prosecutor general, appointed by Mursi, to present a detailed account of all the cases against the Muslim Brotherhood stating which of them actually reached court and which were shelved. “Brotherhood leaders know more than I do why many of them where not formally indicted,” he said. Mahmoud accused Mursi of keeping information about state money retrieved from corruption cases by the General Prosecution Authority for two months in order to take all the credit. Mahmoud said he holds President Mohamed Mursi accountable for any harm that might befall him after his fiery speech. “If anything happens to me after I am out of here, it will be the president’s responsibility.” He also said he expected to be put in jail after his attack on the president and the Muslim Brotherhood.Read the full story here.
