Ex-agriculture minister Helal gets 10 years in jail over bribery case
Cairo criminal court
Cairo - Arab Today
The Cairo criminal court sentenced former agriculture minister Salah Helal and his assistant Mohieddin el Saeed to ten years each over corruption charges and acquitted two others in the case.
Helal was found guilty of accepting bribes in return for easing legal procedures for a company to own 2,500 feddans of land in the Natroun Valley in Beheira.
Helal was arrested on September 7, on the same day he handed over his resignation as agriculture minister.
The court fined Helal EGP one million and his assistant half a million pounds in the case and ordered them to return the gifts they received, while exempted the two other defendants from the punishment (Chairman of Cairo Three A Group Ayman el Gameel, a service provider for the trade of agricultural commodities and Mohamed Fouda, a journalist impostor).

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
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" opened 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.

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 his
