Mobile Lines Probe: Leaks and Lax Registration
Security authorities in Egypt have uncovered that customer service employees at a telecommunications company, along with contracted intermediaries, contributed to the theft and registration of thousands of mobile lines under citizens' names without their knowledge. They used forged ID cards and fake phones to achieve high sales targets. Eighteen suspects—employees of the company, intermediary firms, and traders—have been arrested. Authorities also seized 4,071 mobile lines equipped with electronic wallets, as well as phones, computers, purchase contracts, and identity data. The suspects have admitted to their criminal activities. The relevant authorities had previously referred the telecom companies for investigation following complaints from dozens of citizens about lines being registered in their names without their consent, as part of efforts to combat fraud and violations within the telecommunications sector.
