He has been transferred with intensive security measures to Torah prison, where former President Hosni Mubarak and his two sons are detained, the report said.
Badie was arrested in an apartment in Tayran street in northeastern Nasr City district of Cairo. The street is just behind Rabaa al-Adawiya Square, one of the two sites where supporters of deposed President Mohamed Morsi used to rally.
Also, two Brotherhood leading members, Youssef Talaat and Hassan Maleik, were arrested along with Badie.
On July 4, just one day after the ouster of Morsi, Egyptian acting prosecutor general Ahmed Ezz el-Din ordered an arrest warrant against the Brotherhood top leader over charges of inciting the killing of anti-Morsi protesters.
Badie`s deputy, Kirate El-Shater, was also on the arrest warrant, as investigations revealed that they had hired thugs to kill Morsi`s opponents at the Brotherhood`s headquarters in Cairo` s Muqattam district.(*)
