Mubarak and his two sons were charged of misusing power and accepting gifts from Ahram institution via his Information Minister.
His lawyer Farid al-Deeb told Xinhua that Mubarak will pay back the money equivalent to the worth of the gifts, and that he is confident that the ex-president will be released.
"Mubarak will be freed unless he is charged of other crimes," legal expert Aly Mashallah told Xinhua, adding the prosecution is the sole authority to determine his final release.
