CAIRO - An Egyptian criminal court on Saturday began the first hearing in the case against former Interior Minister Habib al-Adli, charged with money laundering and profiteering, the state news agency MENA reported.
Adli was a reviled figure during the protests that led to the toppling of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Demonstrators had demanded he be sacked after police beat, tear-gassed and fired rubber bullets at them.
