April 5 set for State Council bribery case trial
State Council bribery case trial
Cairo - Arab Today
Cairo Appeals Court set April 5 as the first session of the trial of three defendants of the State Council over bribery charges.
State Council's procurement manager Gamal El Laban and others were referred to court after investigations by the High State Prosecution revealed that El Laban and others received presents in return for breaching their duties and forging documents.
According to investigations, the owner of the Khouloud Office Furniture Association and his wife admitted that El Laban and now-deceased former Secretary-General of the council Wael Shalaby requested EGP 800,000 from them as a bribe in return for a selective tender for the year 2016/17 to provide office furniture to the Council.
El Laban forged two documents saying that an inspection committee received the furniture bought through the tender, as well as a document requesting the furniture be transferred to the Council's storerooms. There was no actual purchase or transfer of furniture.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
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" opens 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. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
