Egyptian Former Interior Minister Habib al-Adly has been sentenced to 12 years in jail for money-laundering.
Adly, who was in charge of the country\'s feared security services, was a key part of former president Hosni Mubarak\'s regime, the BBC reported.

This is the first trial of an official from his regime.
Adly faces separate charges of ordering troops to fire on protesters.
