Cairo’s criminal court adjourns the money laundering trial of former interior minister Habib Al-Adly for tomorrow, upon the defence team’s request.
Al-Adly is facing a number of other charges, including playing a major role in the killing of protesters during Egypt’s 25 January Revolution.
If found guilty of giving the order to kill protesters during the revolution, the minimum sentence that the court must impose is 15 years in prison, while the maximum is a death sentence.
Some police forces used live ammunition to disperse the crowds in many Egyptian cities during the 18-day revolt, and some poor civilians have come forward to confess they were paid and given instructions to use force, allegedly by instruction from top officials.
