Egypt: Disciplinary board starts trial of Morsi-appointed Public Prosecutor

The Judges Disciplinary Council started today a trial of former Prosecutor General Talaat Ibrahim, who was appointed by the ousted President Mohammed Morsi.

Ibrahim is accused of eavesdropping on the military-appointed Prosecutor General by installing eavesdropping equipment inside his office. Ibrahim describes the trial as a “farce”, and insists the equipment are normal security cameras installed in all offices of the General Prosecution’s headquarters.
