Cairo - The Egyptian authorities arrested the finance minister's adviser for receiving one million Egyptian pounds (over 53,000 U.S. dollars) from a contractor as part of a larger bribe for mispricing a state-owned land, the Egyptian state TV reported. According to the Administrative Control Authority (ACA), the country's official anti-corruption body, the corrupt official was scheduled to get a total bribe of four million pounds (more than 212,000 dollars) to misprice the land of a tourist village that would cause the state a loss of about half a billion pounds (26,595 dollars).
