Spain - Court Orders Mubarak Associate to Face Corruption Charges in Egypt - NYTimes.com The National Court announced Friday that it had ordered Hussein Salem, a close associate of the ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak, to be extradited to Egypt along with his son. Mr. Salem, his son Khaled and an associate were arrested in a wealthy Madrid suburb in June. Mr. Salem, a former Egyptian army and intelligence officer, was being held on suspicion of money laundering and corruption. He is accused of having been given lucrative deals, including one exporting gas to Israel, because of his close connections to Mr. Mubarak. The Spanish authorities froze $47 million in his accounts and seized homes worth $14 million, including seven in the resort of Marbella. Spain insisted on two conditions for the extraditions: that the cases should be heard by juries other than those that were already trying the two men in absentia, and that both men had the right to chose to return to Spain to serve out any sentences they receive in Egypt.
