Judicial Decision to Refer Medhat Shalaby to Urgent Court
Charges have been brought against Egyptian journalist Medhat Shalaby for insulting Al Ahly club president Mahmoud El Khatib through comments he made on his TV show. These remarks led to a legal case being initiated against him by the club and its legal representatives. The controversy began when the episode discussed El Khatib’s failure to travel to the United States due to health reasons, attributing it to him not obtaining a visa. This angered the club, which filed criminal complaints against Shalaby. Additionally, MBC Masr suspended the program "Massaa Al-Anwar." Shalaby was questioned, during which he confirmed that his comments aimed to convey a general message to the fans and were not intended to insult the individual. The case has been referred to the Economic Court, where a hearing is scheduled for October 14, 2026, to decide on the charges against him related to insults and defamation of the Al Ahly club president.
