The Supreme State Security Prosecution on Monday ordered to summon former head of the Accountability State Authority (ASA) Hisham Geneina to be interrogated over his previous remarks in which he claimed that corruption in Egypt cost up to 600 billion pounds in 2015.

The prosecution set Tuesday for the interrogations with Geneina. 

Earlier, the prosecution listened to the testimonies of the head of the governance department in the Ministry of State for Administrative Development on a technical study prepared by an ASA committee on the corruption cost.

The governance official said that the time-frame of the study was between 2008 until 2012, and the study should have been conducted within the framework of the international agreements in force in Egypt that are limited to intentional crimes.
