Al-Shater is deputy to the Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohammed Badie, but is considered by some as the actual leader of the movement.

He was a candidate in the Egyptian presidential elections in 2012, but was disqualified due to his criminal record.

Al-Shater was arrested in July 2013, and accused of incitement to murder. Between 1968 and 2013, al-Shater was arrested a total of 6 times.

Khairat al-Shater is a multimillionaire tycoon whose financial interests extend into electronics, manufacturing and retail.

In the early 1990s, he and his business partner Hassan Malek were imprisoned as part of the Salsabil investigation. Both were released in 1993.

None of the companies records show Khairat al-Shater as a director, however, it is possible that members of his family, such as his son Saad al-Shater are involved in his companies on his behalf.

Al-Shater is the founder of ikhwanweb.com, the official English website of the Muslim Brotherhood.
