The Cairo Criminal Court has postponed the trial of Safwat al-Sharif, the former Shura Council speaker, and his two sons Ihab (released pending trial) and Ashraf (fugitive) to August 23. They are charged with abusing their influence to achieve illicit gains.
The decision was taken in order to enable the defense to review the report of the committee of experts, formed by the court to examine the case documents.
