Egypt’s interior ministry said on Tuesday that it had finally identified the location of former Minister of Interior, Habib al-Adly, who has been considered a fugitive since May, after being convicted in a corruption case. A statement for the ministry said that police has notified Adly with the court verdict and he turned himself in to serve the sentence. Last month, the New York Times reported that Adly has been advising Saudi Arabian Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman. In May, Egypt’s Ministry of the Interior notified the Cairo Public Prosecution that police had been searching for Adly after he allegedly escaped from his home in 6th of October City. Adly served as the minister of interior for former-president Hosni Mubarak from 1997 to 2011, making him the longest serving interior minister under Mubarak.
