Giza Criminal Court Thursday put off trial of four defendants, including two officers of the Israeli Intelligence Service (Mossad), to January 31 over forming an espionage network in Egypt.
The postponement decision was made to hear the case's arguments starting with that of the general prosecution.
The prosecution accused the two Egyptian defendants, Ramzi el Shebini and Sahar Salama, of spying for a foreign country, Israel, and providing the third and fourth defendants with domestic information that harms Egypt's national interests in return for money.
They, accused of spying for Israel, have agreed with two involved Mossad officers, still at large, to provide them with information about the domestic situation in Egypt and the performance of economic facilities.
Israel's Mossad has provided the defendants with computers and encryption systems to pass data to it.
