Egypt’s Cassation Court struck down on Tuesday a legal challenge filed by the Mursi-appointed prosecutor-general Talaat Abdullah against a court order that annulled his appointment.

The ruling is final and means the return of the Mubarak-appointed prosecutor-general Abdel Maguid Mahmoud as the country’s top prosecutor.
