Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has been sentenced to three years in jail.

He was found guilty on corruption charges after embezzling 14 million dollars which should have been spent on renovation at presidential palaces.

Today's legal proceedings were a retrial after the original conviction was overturned in January.

87 year-old Mubarak  - who's been in a military hospital for well over a year - has faced a series of legal battles since being toppled in 2011.

His two sons have also been jailed.
