Mr Garranah, who pleaded not guilty

He had been convicted on May 10 to five years in prison for selling public land to businessmen at lower prices, a frequent practice of officials close to Mr. Mubarak's.
Tourism, a vital sector of the Egyptian economy has experienced a real boom in recent years, before falling sharply in the wake of political turmoil at the beginning of the year.

Mubarak, 83, and his two sons Alaa and Gamal, are themselves being tried in a criminal court in Cairo.
