Reports say Egypt's former tourism minister has been sentenced to five years in prison for corruption.
Zuheir Garranah was charged with authorizing the sale of state-owned land worth millions of dollars at very low prices.
Garranah is the second minister jailed for corruption after the overthrow of former President Hosni Mubarak.
Last week, a court sentenced former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly to 12 years for corruption.
The trial of corrupt officials, including Mubarak, was a key demand of protesters against his regime.
The former president who was ousted on February 11 is currently in a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh. He is under investigation for abuse of office.
