Tourists released after being held over suspected porn shoot in Egypt

A group of 10 naked men and women were noticed Saturday on Giftun Islands, a popular excursion from Hurghada, by a patrol officer who thought they were shooting a porn scene.

The suspects, who came from Georgia, were taken to a police department.

"These tourists were diving and shooting the beautiful aquatic flora and fauna. The security officer had wrongly assessed the situation due to his inexperience," a spokesperson for Egypt's tourism minister said.

The suspects were released after police found nothing illegal in the recordings.
