Tories make billionaire ex-Mubarak minister party's senior treasurer
The Conservatives have appointed an Egyptian-born billionaire and former minister under the Mubarak regime to be one of their senior fundraisers before the next election.
...
Mansours company Unatrac has donated more than £600,000 to the party. He was also last year given a role on the governments advisory investment council as founder of his family-owned investment firm Man Capital.
He is a former politician who served as a transport minister from 2006 to 2009 in the government of the then president, Hosni Mubarak, who was removed from office in 2011 as part of the Arab spring.
Mubarak is considered a military autocrat who ruled Egypt for 30 years, maintaining his grip on office through a crackdown on political opposition, routinely running for re-election unopposed and stifling free speech.

Wow. They have no shame. And don't think that he's cut links with the current authoritarian regime:
In Egypt, Mr Mansour was appointed by President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi by a Presidential Decree issued in May 2021 to join the Board of Trustees for the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is due to open in 2023. President El-Sisi will Chair the Board of Trustees which comprises global leaders in business, politics, culture and the arts.
