Zakaria Azmi, who served as the chief of staff during Mubarak's tenure, was also asked to pay a fine of USD 6.05 million for misusing power to get undue economic benefits, the Ahram Online reported.
Known as a powerful and influential figure in Mubarak's circle, Azmi, who was with the deposed leader since 1989, was detained in April last year and was put on trial in October.
The court also fined Azmi's wife Bahia Halawa of same amount. His brother-in-law, Gamal Halawa, was also sentenced in absentia to a year in prison.
