EgyptAir Employees Face Appeal Hearing
The Court of Appeal Criminal Cairo session began today to review the case of three employees of EgyptAir. The original ruling sentenced each of them to three years in harsh imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 Egyptian pounds for bribery and breach of their official duties in favor of the fourth defendant. It was revealed that the first defendant, an inventory organizer at the company, solicited and received a bribe of 85,000 pounds to facilitate the smuggling of cash in local currency into the customs zone contrary to the law. Additionally, the other two defendants, a operations supervisor and a driver, received amounts of 2,000 and 5,000 pounds respectively, in exchange for facilitating the smuggling of additional amounts through customs outlets. Investigations showed that the seized funds, exceeding 4 million pounds, were hidden beneath the vehicle seats near the engine. The third defendant was aware of their presence and transported them from the port. All the defendants admitted to the charges and conspired to smuggle the money for financial gain.
