Cairo Court of Urgent Matters decreed on Saturday Pharmacists Syndicate be place under custodianship.
Former chief of the syndicate earlier filed lawsuit demanding custodianship be imposed on the syndicate citing an alleged control by the Muslim Brotherhood over the syndicate.
The lawsuit also requested a committee be formed to run the syndicate until elections are held. The committee should be composed of nine members including businessmen, former syndicate members as well as members of the trade division and others.
