CAIRO
An Egyptian government's panel has barred a total of 572 Muslim Brotherhood leaders from accessing their personal funds and property.
The panel also froze the assets of 87 Brotherhood schools, Judge Abdel-Azim al-Ashri, head of the Justice Ministry's media committee, said in a statement on Tuesday.
Last week, the panel barred 132 Brotherhood leaders from accessing their funds and property under a court ruling banning the Islamist group.
The interim authorities earlier froze the assets of 1,130 NGOs and 137 schools on the same grounds.
In September, Egypt's Court for Urgent Matters ordered the dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood Society, the banning of the Muslim Brotherhood and all affiliated bodies, and the confiscation of all the group's offices and funds.
The Egyptian government designated the Brotherhood a terrorist group last week.
Egyptian authorities have launched a massive crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood following the army's July 3 ouster of elected president Mohamed Morsi.
Thousands of the Brotherhood's leaders and members have since been arrested on incitement-to-violence charges.
