Cairo , Egypt ( CNN ) -- Suzanne Mubarak , wife of toppled Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak , suffered a heart attack Friday after being questioned in a corruption investigation , the manager of the Sharm el-Sheikh Hospital said . The manager , Mohamed Fatah Allah , said she had been taken to the intensive care unit . The incident came shortly after Suzanne Mubarak was ordered detained for 15 days in a corruption case , the state-run Middle East News Agency reported . Assem al-Gohary , the assistant justice minister for the Illicit Gains Authority , ordered her detained for `` obtaining illegal wealth using her husband 's position and political authority . '' A team of investigators from the authority , a separate investigative unit under the Ministry of Justice , had questioned the former president in the same hospital for three hours Thursday regarding `` using his political position as president to acquire illegal wealth . '' `` Hosni Mubarak was also questioned about his luxury mansion in Sharm el-Sheikh , '' al-Gohary said . Last month , the former president suffered a heart attack during questioning over possible corruption charges , Egyptian state television reported . But the head doctor from a Ministry of Justice team assisting with the questioning said later that the former leader had heart palpitations and was able to walk with assistance . He was deemed stable enough to allow prosecutors to resume questioning at the hospital , according to the state-owned Al Ahram newspaper . Mubarak has said the inquiry is aimed at tarnishing his reputation and that of his family . The former first lady had been scheduled for questioning Thursday , but investigators postponed the interrogation until Friday morning . She was asked about the origin of 20 million Egyptian pounds ( $ 3.4 million ) deposited in her name in a local bank account , al-Gohary said . Both Mubaraks were questioned about accounts in Al Ahly Bank , containing $ 147 million under their authority , he said . The Mubaraks signed affidavits allowing investigators to further inquire into their bank accounts and wealth inside and outside Egypt . Suzanne Mubarak , 70 , was treated successfully for leukemia 10 years ago , said Hanaa Gohar , the former first lady 's former press contact . `` She was very healthy and very active '' before the revolution , Gohar said . The U.S. ally , a former military commander , resigned in February after nearly three decades in power amid massive demonstrations calling for him to step down .
