In the pre-recorded speech broadcast by Al Arabiya, Mubarak said he was willing to cooperate in any investigation to prove that he did not own property abroad or posses foreign bank accounts. He said he and his family are hurt "from the unjust campaigns against us and false allegations that aim to smear my reputation, my integrity, my (political) stances and my military history."

The former president said he only possessed a single account in an Egyptian bank and only held property in Egypt. He said he would agree in writing, if requested, to allow the prosecutor-general to contact other countries to investigate whether he or his wife Suzanne owned any account or property abroad.

Mubarak also said he would allow the prosecutors to investigate whether anyone in his family owned any real estate or properties "directly or indirectly, commercially or for private use" since the time he assumed office in 1981.

Hours later a statement from the public prosecutor's office said the ousted president and his sons Gamal and Alaa have been summoned to answer charges of embezzling public funds.
 

Egyptians in the Kingdom thought Mubarak was not telling the truth.

Taha Ramadan, a teacher, said he was expecting an apology from Mubarak for his 30 years of misrule. “Mubarak's sons Gamal and Alaa were not businessmen. They used their father's power to collect this large amount of money,” he alleged.

Ayman Abdul Aziz, a doctor at a private hospital, said his speech was an attempt to pacify people's wrath, especially as some Egyptians had vowed to march on his home to bring him to justice. “I was hoping to hear an apology to the Egyptian people, but he is still the same and his rhetoric will never change.”
