CAIRO (Reuters) - The former head of Egypt's Customs Authority has been referred for trial in a criminal court on charges of accepting bribes to facilitate entry of goods without custom duties, an official at the public prosecution office said on Monday.
The case is one of several corruption-related cases raised in recent months by Egypt's Administrative Control Authority against commodity and trade-related individuals, including the head of the state food-purchasing agency FIHC and officials at the ministry of supply.
