Swiss receive Egypt request on Mubarak assets

|Swiss receive Egypt request on Mubarak assets: "Switzerland has received a formal request from Cairo concerning the assets of former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and “representatives of the former regime,” the justice ministry said.

“A rogatory commission has been transmitted to us,” said Folco Galli, spokesman of the Swiss Justice Ministry.

“It concerns the representatives of the former regime,” he added, without giving their names. Switzerland had taken pre-emptive action to freeze the assets of Mubarak and his entourage on February 11, barely two hours after the former president stepped down."
