Egyptian antiquities law enforced by American courts

The American judiciary decided to enforce the Egyptian antiquities law in the Americn courts.

The Egyptian law will be the first foreign law to be enforced by the American courts inside the United States.

A ruling was issued this week to accept the case of smuggling Egyptian antiquities in which Frederick Shultz, an American national, was charged of breaking the Egyptian laws.

Minister of Culture Farouq Hosni said that the verdict was issued after intensive efforts by Egypt and also as a result of the American side's understanding of the Egyptian antiquities law.
