The Criminal Court of Dar El Beïda in Algeria has scheduled the trial of 12 defendants for August 18, accusing them of smuggling gold bars and cash out of the country.
The charges relate to alleged illicit exports conducted through Houari Boumediene International Airport, a key hub for international travel in the capital, Algiers.
The postponement of the trial, originally set for an earlier date, was announced on Sunday.
The case highlights ongoing efforts by Algerian authorities to combat capital flight and illegal trade in precious metals, which have been persistent concerns for the country's financial regulators.
This development follows a broader pattern of legal actions against financial irregularities in the region.
Recent cases have included the detention of a lawyer in Portugal accused of embezzling funds from clients in a residency program, and a major police operation in Hong Kong targeting a money-laundering syndicate.
