Egypt refers former anti-graft chief to military trial
Tehran (KNA) - Egyptian authorities have decided to court-martial former anti-graft chief Hisham Genena, two months after he was beaten up and arrested as a member of a short-lived campaign for a potential presidential candidate.
Genena's lawyer said Thursday that the former auditor was referred to a military court for trial on charges of spreading false news which authorities deemed were harmful to the military establishment.
Ali Taha said Genena would be in court to face the charges on April 16, without elaborating on further details.
