The Egyptian judiciary ordered on Thursday that the former chief of staff to toppled president Hosni Mubarak be detained for 15 days in an investigation into allegations of illegal gains, the state news agency reported. Zakaria Azmi, who was one of Mubarak's closest aides, was questioned this week by Essam el-Gawahri, a senior Justice Ministry official heading a committee in charge of uncovering corruption during Mubarak's 30-year rule.
Azmi is one of a series of officials to be investigated.
