A Cairo criminal court rejected the prosecution's appeal against a decision to release former president Hosni Mubarak who had been detained on charges of illicit gains.

The court upheld the decision to release Mubarak and said it cannot continue to detain him based on a technical report by the Illicit Gains Authority. 

The general prosecution appealed the decision to release the ousted president pending investigations in illicit gains on Tuesday.
