An Egyptian criminal court on Saturday, March 5, adjourned the trial of former Interior Minister Habib Al-Adli, who is facing charges of money laundering and profiteering, for April 2, responding to a request from his lawyer. Al-Adli, who led the Interior Ministry and its police force for almost 14 years under the rule of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, was the most reviled figure during the protests that toppled Egypt's leader for nearly 30 years. During the session that lasted for only 15 minutes, Al-Adli denied the charges of money laundering and profiteering waged against him, while the prosecution called for due punishment against him. Law experts say that the former Interior Minister may face between 3 and 15-year prison sentence if he was found guilty. Before the session starts, dozens of activists and relatives of victims of recent protests demonstrated outside the court, urging Al-Adli's execution.
