Court postpones trial of Hisham Geneina over corruption claims to June 21
Egypt's former top auditor Hisham Geneina
Cairo - Arab Today
New Cairo Misdemeanor Court has postponed to June 21 the trial of Egypt's former top auditor Hisham Geneina on charges of spreading false news in which he claimed that corruption in Egypt hit 600 billion pounds in 2015.
Earlier, the Supreme State Security Prosecution ordered Geneina's release on bail of 10,000 pounds pending the case.
Investigations carried out by the Supreme State Security Prosecution described Geneina's remarks on the volume of corruption in Egypt as "imprecise and inaccurate".
The prosecution listened to the testimonies of the head of the governance department in the Ministry of State for Administrative Development on a technical study prepared by a committee formed by the Accountability State Authority (ASA) on the corruption bill.
The governance official said that the time-frame of the study was between 2008 until 2012, and the study should have been conducted within the framework of the international agreements in force in Egypt that are limited to intentional crimes.
In March, a presidential decree dismissed Geneina from his post and appointed his deputy, Hesham Badawy, as the acting head of the Central Auditing Agency.

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
