Ezz held in remand in iron licenses case
The Cairo Criminal Court
Cairo - Arab Today
The Cairo Criminal Court on Tuesday ordered holding in custody businessman Ahmed Ezz and former head of the Industrial Development Authority Amr Asal over charges of squandering public funds to the value of 600 million pounds.
The court ordered postponing the trial of the two defendants to April 4 in the case known in the media as the "Iron Licenses" case.
The Court of Cassation in December 2012 overturned another ruling issued by the Cairo Criminal Court sentencing Ezz to 10 years in prison along with former trade and industry minister Rashid Mohamed Rashid who was sentenced in absentia to 15 in prison.
The three defendants are accused of profiteering and squandering public funds through granting Ezz two iron manufacturing licenses in violation of laws governing the procedure.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
