Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris is to face charges for alleged blasphemy after posting images of Mickey and Minnie Mouse in conservative Islamic dresses.
The Christian billionaire tweeted cartoons of the Disney characters last June, apologizing later, saying no offence was intended.
"I apologise for those who don't take this as a joke, I just thought it was a funny picture; no disrespect meant. I am sorry," Sawiris tweeted.

The images showed Mickey wearing the traditional Muslim garb and adorned with a beard, while Minnie was veiled in a Niqab.
The action sparked a series of condemnations from thousands of people on Facebook and other social networking sites, with conservative Muslim groups calling for boycotts of companies owned by Sawaris.
