Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak will be released from jail in the next 48 hours after a prosecutor cleared him of a corruption charge, his lawyer Fareed El-Deeb told Reuters.
Judicial authorities reportedly ordered Mubarak released in one of the remaining corruption cases against him.
According to Deeb, the only legal grounds for the ousted president's detention rest on one other corruption case which is slated to be cleared up this week.
Mubarak still faces a retrial on charges of complicity in the murder of protesters in 2011, Reuters reported.
