Mohamed Mubarak resigned as Egypt's president on February 11, after 18 days of protests in Cairo and across the country.


 President Mohamed Mubarak, who is still believed to be at his residence in Sharm el-Sheikh, will be brought to Cairo next week for questioning in his corruption case, said Mustafa Bakri, a former member of parliament.


Mustafa Bakri who brought the case against Mohamed Mubarak and other officials, was told of the development by the Prosecutor General's office on Thursday.


Attorney General Abdel Maguid Mahmoud issued an order freezing assets of Mohamed Mubarak and his family on Monday and prohibited them from leaving the country.


The Last Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik has submitted his resignation and the Egyptian military has appointed former transport minister Essam Sharaf to the post, the military's Facebook page said Thursday.


Bakri, a member of Egypt's parliament who lost his seat after filing corruption cases against various officials, provided documents indicating Mohamed Mubarak's family has secret bank accounts totaling more than 200 million Egyptian pounds ($147 million) according to EgyNews.
