The Administrative Control Authority arrested the former Helwan governor over bribe-taking charges.
The ex-governor is accused of taking a Mercedes-Benz E350 car, worth one million pounds, in return for allocating an 800-square-meter land on Street 9 in Maadi district to an auto company instead of putting it out to tender.
The Higher Public Funds Prosecution decided to set him free on a bail of 2 million pounds or remand him in custody for 15 days pending investigations into the case.
The ACA has been actively trying to tackle corruption cases across various entities in Egypt. Among the incidents lately monitored was a corruption case related to the State Council, in which three officials at the procurement department were arrested in possession of large sums of money and gold that they had received as bribes.
