The prosecution accused the defendants of spying for foreign authorities in Egypt, funding terrorism, organizing military training and committing actions that destabilize the country.
Investigators claimed that the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood committed violence in Egypt to create chaos, prepared a terrorist scheme to form an alliance between the group in Egypt and other foreign extremist organizations and smuggled weapons and members to Gaza via tunnels, with the help of Hamas, to receive military training.
The defense denies the charges saying they are politically motivated.
The prosecution also alleges that the suspects gathered with other members of extremist groups in Sinai for training on how to spread propaganda to serve the goals of the international organization.
