CAIRO - The trial of five Islamists charged with alleged money laundering and funding the banned Muslim Brotherhood was deferred to October 10 Thursday, as the only adjourned standing trial in person had been admitted to hospital for health problems, a judiciary source said. "The trial of four Egyptians and a Saudi national will resume on October 10 at the emergency High State Security Court. They are accused of funding a banned organisation through donations collected abroad, and of money laundering," the source said Thursday. Four of the accused " Saudi national Awad al-Qarni and Egyptians Ibrahim Munir Ahmed Mustafa, Ashraf Mohammed Abdul Halim and Wagdi Abdul Hamid Ghoneim" are to be tried in absentia because they live abroad. "However, Osama Mohamed Suleiman, a physician and owner of a foreign exchange company, suffered four heart strokes in jail. Therefore, the court referred him to the hospital for treatment," the source, who asked not to be ideutified, said. The five are on trial after being charged with channeling money through a British-based Islamic charity to fund the movement's activities in Egypt, a case dubbed in local media as the Brotherhood's ‘international organisation'. Four of the accused, Qarni, Mustafa, Ghoneim and Abdul Halim, are also accused of supplying the Brotherhood with four million pounds sterling (5.9 million dollars). Investigations show that "the funds were collected for the group through donations at conferences in London, under the pretext of setting up charitable projects in Islamic countries."
