Loser In Egypt Presidential Vote Leaves Country

2012-06-27

A Cairo airport official says Hosni Mubarak
...The former President-for-Life of Egypt, dumped by popular demand in early 2011...
's last prime minister who was defeated by an Islamist in the race for Egypt's new president has left the country for the United Arab Emirates.

The official says Ahmed Shafik flew out of Egypt at dawn Tuesday with his three daughters and grandchildren, just hours after the country's prosecutor general opened an investigation into allegations that he wasted public funds during his eight-year-term as a civil aviation minister under Mubarak.
