Al-Masry Al-Youm, the Arabic Egyptian daily paper, ran a front page headline story (English Version) on the Egyptian Minister of Industry and Trade, Rasheed Mohammed Rasheed, and his recent visit to Germany where he commented on the on-going German Companies bribery scandal (an issue that has been occupying front page news in Cairo for sometime).
