The office of Egypt’s public prosecutor said Saturday that it is investigating complaints against former president Mohamed Morsi and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Complaints against Morsi, who was ousted last week, and Brotherhood members include spying, attacking military barracks, inciting killing protesters, and damaging the economy, reports the BBC.
The investigation could lead to charges against Morsi, who was the nation’s first democratically-elected president, and eight Islamist leaders, according to USA Today.
Brotherhood leader Mohamed Badie and Essam El-Erian, deputy director of the Freedom and Justice Party, are among those being investigated.
The violence and killings they are accused of inciting occurred on Monday, when at least 51 protesters were killed.
The interim government is still in the process of creating a cabinet. Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi will meet with nominees on Sunday and Monday and hope to finish forming the Cabinet by Tuesday or Wednesday. Some members of the previous Cabinet will remain in their positions, reports CNN.
The new Cabinet will reportedly include almost 30 ministers and two deputy prime ministers, one for security affairs and one for economic affairs.
