MADRID — Spanish police have found $36.5 million in assets owned by ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and people close to him, including Marbella beach properties and luxury cars, the government said yesterday.
Egypt had asked Spain to track down assets in the country belonging to the former president and more than 100 people with ties to him.
“The assets could come from crimes such as embezzlement or corruption,” the government statement said.
Mubarak, who ruled Egypt for three decades, was forced out in February 2011 after a popular Arab Spring uprising.
