Egypt ex-minister jailed for 12 years

Egyptian former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly has been sentenced to 12 years in jail yesterday on charges of money-laundering and profiteering.

This is the first trial of an official from his regime. Adly faces separate charges of ordering troops to fire on demonstrators.
