Cairo, March 04: Former-Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak’s second son Gamal attempted suicide in the days following his father’s ouster after 30 years as the president of the Arab world’s most populous country.
Long considered a successor to his father’s presidency, Gamal tried to take his life by drinking poisoned tea as Egyptian authorities sought to retrieve millions of dollars depositied in banks around the world, Algerian newspaper Ech.Chourouk reported Thursday, citing unnamed sources.
The newspaper’s sources also said the Hosni Mubarak’s wife Suzanne transfered more than 250 gold ingots and $3 billion to Paris with the complicity of the French authorities.
