Former President Hosni Mubarak
Immediately after the twenty fifth of January 2011 revolution and resignation of former President Hosni Mubarak, Former President Hosni Mubarak and his family have faced numerous charges of murdering protesters, corruption, profiteering and causing damage to public funds. Therefore, he appointed the well-known lawyer Dr. Mohamed Hamoda to defend him, he was the first to be entrusted the task of defending Hosni Mubarak and his family. He was responsible for undertaking all defense procedures in all proceedings and before all courts, prosecution, police stations, the Illicit Gains Authority (IGA), and the Attorney General's Office.
After that Dr. Mohamed Hamoda announced that he declined the task of defending Former President Hosni Mubarak, and that he had not accepted the task yet, and postponed making his decision in this respect until he would take cognizance of the case papers.
Dr. Mohamed Hamoda was known for his clear and declared positions concerning January 25 revolution since he refused it and was standing against the acts of vandalism, destruction, burning, looting and pillage that accompanied the revolution. He declared that it was not a popular revolution, but a conspiracy woven by the great Powers to create chaos in the country.
However, Dr. Mohamed Hamoda declined the task of defending Former President Hosni Mubarak before the Criminal Court against charges of corruption, seizure of public funds, profiteering, and murdering of demonstrators. He said that he declined that task due to the difficulty of achieving complete justice because of the pressures of public opinion; it becomes impossible to achieve complete justice in light of the circumstances that Egypt experienced at that time, and mobilization of public opinion against the former president and his family.
After rejection to defend the Former President Hosni Mubarak, Dr. Mohamed Hamoda advised Hosni Mubarak to file libel and slander lawsuit against all newspapers and TV channels that had accused him and his family of inexplicable wealth, corruption and causing damage to public funds and misuse of his position as the President of Arab Republic of Egypt. That included the Guardian newspaper of Britain and the New York Times of America.
