Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak appeared in the same courtroom on Wednesday as his ousted successor Mohammed Morsi.
Mubarak was in court to testify in the case of the storming of the eastern borders and the raiding of prisons during the 2011 revolt in the country.
Morsi, of the Muslim Brotherhood, has been detained on an array of charges, including the jailbreak.
The jailbreak was staged by Morsi and other leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood group during the 2011 uprising.
Mubarak told the court that the storming of the border was aimed at increasing chaos during the revolt to support the Muslim Brotherhood
He added that the attack was possible through tunnels that were dug from Gaza, which is controlled by the Hamas Palestinian movement.
The raiders then headed to the prisons to release Hezbollah, Brotherhood and Hamas inmates, he charged.
Furthermore, he accused the raiders of attacking and killing police force members in northern Sinai, which borders Gaza.
Hamas’ founding charter, Mubarak noted, recognizes the group as part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Egypt has banned the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist group.
