Career

Mubarak has kept a much lower profile than his younger brother, Gamal, and was not involved in politics.

In 2011, he was arrested together with his father and brother, and he and his brother were released in October 2015. The EU had imposed sanctions on father and sons, and froze all assets that Mubarak disclosed.
