Giza Court adjourns trial of 3 officials over stealing Osiris statue from Grand Egyptian Museum to July 6
The Giza Criminal Court on Tuesday adjourned the trial of three senior officials in the antiquities sector charged with stealing a statue from the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) to July 6, due to the inability of the defendants to attend the session.
According to the Public Prosecution’s referral order, the defendants embezzled the ancient statue of Osiris which dates back to the late Pharaonic era from the inorganic antiquities storeroom at GEM, where they were responsible for its preservation.
