In the new espionage trial, Morsi and nine others are accused of "handing over to Qatari intelligence documents linked to national security in exchange for one million dollars”, a prosecution statement said. It said the case against the suspects, of whom seven are in custody, represented "the biggest act of treason and espionage" ever carried out against Egypt. Morsi is already on trial in three separate cases -- one for the killing of protesters during his presidency, another for allegedly conspiring with foreign powers including Iran to destabilise Egypt, and a third over a jailbreak and attacks on police stations during the 2011 uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak. Morsi could face the death penalty if found guilty.
