Egyptian Steel Tycoon Goes On TrialAhmed Ezz, an Egyptian steel tycoon and politician, is due in court for a corruption trial. Ezz is a leading member of the former ruling National Democratic Party that was led by ousted President Hosni Mubarak.
He's alleged to have illegally made millions from cornering Egypt's steel market and to many he personifies so much of what was wrong with Mubarak's rule.
