Egypt court clears ex-TV chief of corruption charges
None
A Cairo court on Thursday cleared the former head of Egypt's television and radio union, Osama El Sheikh, of charges of squandering public funds by purchasing entertainment shows at inflated prices, the state news agency MENA said.
The agency said that the ruling came after a committee of experts set up in July to examine the charges determined that the prices paid for the drama programs were in line with market rates at the time of purchase. (Reuters)
