The Youm7 TV channel covered the latest developments in the case of art producer Sara Khalifa. The Financial and Money Laundering Prosecution heard her statements regarding the accusations of money laundering. The prosecution ordered her detention for 4 days pending investigations, to be reviewed again after another case involving possession of narcotics is considered.

The coverage by colleague Ahmed Al-Jaafari detailed the incident, where Sara Khalifa denied the money laundering charge before the prosecution, affirming that her income comes from an event management company and has no relation to money laundering.

It is noted that the Public Prosecution referred Sara Khalifa and 27 others to the Cairo New Capital Criminal Court to face charges of importing, manufacturing, and trafficking narcotics, alongside documented assault incidents uncovered during investigations.

The competent investigative authorities ordered the seizure of the defendants’ funds and bank accounts, and the Public Prosecution referred the accused to the competent criminal court.

The Public Prosecution referred twenty-eight defendants, including Sara Khalifa Hamada, to the criminal court to be punished for forming an organized criminal gang specialized in importing materials used to synthesize narcotics for manufacturing, trafficking, and possession of firearms and ammunition without a license.

Investigations revealed that the accused formed a criminal organization led by some of them to manufacture synthetic narcotics for trafficking by importing raw materials from abroad. Roles were divided among them: some procured raw materials, others manufactured the drugs, and the rest distributed them. They used a residential property as a base for storing and manufacturing these substances. The total seized synthetic narcotics and raw materials exceeded 750 kilograms.

Following the investigations, the Public Prosecution issued urgent decisions including inventorying the defendants’ assets, uncovering secret bank accounts, freezing their funds, listing two fugitives on travel ban and wanted lists, and continuing detention for the remaining accused.

The referral decision was based on statements from twenty witnesses and technical and digital evidence including conversations, photos, and videos documenting the accused’s criminal activities.
