CAIRO — Egypt’s Giza Criminal Court continued July 3 the retrial of Habib al-Adly, the interior minister under President Hosni Mubarak, on charges of misappropriating 530 million Egyptian pounds (almost $29 million) from the Interior Ministry.
All eyes are now focused on the defense to see whether Adly will follow in the footsteps of a number of Mubarak regime tycoons and submit a request to reconcile with the state and give back the misappropriated funds in exchange for charges being dropped.
