Khaberni - The Cairo Economic Court continued on Thursday the trial sessions of the actress Mona Farouk in the case related to the violation of family principles and values, following content circulated on social media sites.
The details of the case trace back to the Public Prosecutor referring the actress’s files to the Full Prosecution at the New Cairo Court after concluding the investigations into the accusations directed at her.
During the session, the court is scheduled to hear the defense's pleadings and review the documents submitted in preparation for ruling on the case.
