Egypt reports husband's kidnapping, exposes gangs
Egyptian security forces managed to rescue a man who was held captive by individuals involved in a gang specializing in scamming those seeking to buy counterfeit antiques. The man's wife received a call from unknown callers demanding ransom for his release. The incident began on July 30 when the husband left to meet someone to purchase a car, only to be assaulted and detained inside the Qantra Al-Khayriyya center in Qalyubia. Investigations revealed that the gang exploited a previous scam against one of their victims, convincing him there were antiques on land and taking money in exchange for fictional digging activities. They held him captive to retaliate against the scam. The police also seized a weapon, gold, and photos of counterfeit antiques. The suspects admitted that they formed a gang to carry out fraud related to the sale of counterfeit antiques.
