An Egyptian court Thursday acquitted J Sainsbury PLC's (SBRY.LN) Chief Executive Mike Coupe of all charges in connection with a case involving a dispute with a local businessman in Egypt.

The conviction was tied to allegations made by Amr Amin Hamza El Nasharty, who headed a company called Egyptian Distribution Group, or Edge, with which Sainsbury's did business.

According to a Sainsbury's statement in April, Mr. El Nasharty maintained that Mr. Coupe flew to Egypt in July of last year and seized bounced checks out of a bankruptcy file in the country. Mr. El Nasharty had said he was pressured into buying back shares of Edge, which in 1999 Sainsbury's had bought an 80% stake in, and that he did so using postdated checks which later bounced.

Mr. Coupe, who in April appeared in a court in Giza, Egypt, to appeal a September conviction made in his absence, was acquitted of "all charges brought against him as a representative of the company" according to a regulatory filing on Thursday afternoon.
