Judge slaps Hosni Mubarak with fine for consuming alcohol

By ASSOCIATED PRESS
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A judge on Monday slapped Hosni Mubarak with a fine for illegally consuming alcohol. No, not that Hosni Mubarak.
This one is a Pakistani namesake of the ousted Egyptian president who was in a Dubai misdemeanors court Sunday facing charges of breaking the emirate's liquor laws, which ban public drinking outside of hotels and restaurants.
Media reports said he was fined 1,000 dirhams ($273) by the judge, who couldn't hold back a smile as he called the defendant's name.
Egypt's ex-president stepped down earlier this month after massive protests against his nearly three-decade rule.
