Two sons of Egypt’s ousted President Hosni Mubarak were freed from prison early on Friday pending a graft retrial, AFP said.

Alaa and Gamal Mubarak left jail after a court ordered their release because they had served the maximum pretrial detention.

The charges included embezzling at least $16 million earmarked for the maintenance of presidential palaces.

The retrial of the former leader and his two sons was ordered this month. Media reports said there had been no signs of the former president himself leaving the hospital.
