Referring a prominent banker to trial
The case carried the number 3489 of 2025 crimes of the Dokki Department, and was registered under No. 19 of 2025 crimes of higher public funds, and the investigation took place in it, Counselor Moataz Al -Hamili, the first public prosecutor of the Supreme Public Funds Prosecution, and serious accusations of a bank official and the owner of a leather shop, related to seizing more than 15 million Egyptian pounds, were taken from a high -level diplomatic account.
According to the referral order issued by the prosecution, the first accused in his capacity as a general employee seized the ownership of the money of his employer by seizing a sum of $ 309,800, which is equivalent to more than 15 million Egyptian pounds, from the account of one of the bank’s customers, Sheikh Mubarak Faisal Saud Al -Sabah, head of the Emiri Diwan in the State of Kuwait.
The first accused used the trick to carry out the crime, as he falsely attributed to the victim – a high diplomatic figure – a supposed request to issue an investment certificate in the US dollar in the mentioned amount, in favor of the second accused. With that means, the certificate was issued in the name of the second accused, who later recovered and withdrew its financial value, in a direct seizure of the money without the knowledge or approval of the victim.
The matter did not stop there, but rather extended to forgery in official documents pertaining to the bank, including bank account lists, withdrawal and deposit receipts. Investigations indicated that these documents were formed by proving unreal operations, with the intention of changing the truth and facilitating the implementation of the trick, and these forged documents were later used as a cover for the seizure.
According to the case papers, this criminal act has caused great harm to public money, which is to lose huge sums of money from the bank’s balances, especially as it relates to a public figure from a sister country.
