An Egyptian court has sentenced former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to three years in prison for embezzlement of public funds.
His two sons, Gamal and Alaa, were both sentenced to four years each in prison on corruption charges.
It is unclear whether the former Egyptian leader, 86, will be kept in hospital or sent back to the Tora prison complex.
Mubarak ruled Egypt for almost 30 years before being ousted from power when mass protests rose against his regime in February 2011 as part of the burgeoning Arab Spring.
