CAIRO: Egyptian police took a former anti-corruption chief to the military prosecutor´s office on Tuesday, his family said, detaining a prominent figure who helped run the election campaign of a challenger to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. Hisham Genena´s daughter Nada Genena told Reuters by phone that up to 30 policemen came to the family home in a Cairo suburb early in the day and took her father away by car. His wife Wafaa Kedieh said he was taken to the military prosecution. The family, who had followed the police convoy from their home, waited outside the military prosecution later in the day. An interior ministry official said he had no knowledge of the incident. Genena had run the short-lived election campaign of former military chief of staff Sami Anan, who was detained last month and accused by the army of running for office without permission, bringing his presidential bid to a halt.
