02.06 Tourists Accused of Shooting Porn in Egypt Released
CAIRO, June 2 (RIA Novosti) Egypts police have released a group of tourists who had been earlier detained for allegedly shooting a pornographic movie in the popular Red Sea resort of Hurghada.
A group of ten naked men and women were noticed on the Giftun Islands, a popular excursion from Hurghada, on Saturday by a patrol officer who thought they were shooting a scene. The suspects, who came from Georgia, were taken to a police department, Al-Masry Al-Youm reported.
These tourists were diving and shooting the beautiful aquatic flora and fauna. The security officer had wrongly assessed the situation due to his inexperience, a spokesperson for Egypts tourism minister said.
She said the suspects were released as Egypts tourist police had found nothing illegal in the recordings.
