CAIRO (Reuters) - Egyptian authorities said on Thursday they had blocked a scheme aimed at financing the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood and alleged a link to the imprisoned founder and former chairman of dairy and juice firm Juhayna, Safwan Thabet. It described Thabet as a "Brotherhood leader". Amnesty said the authorities had failed to produce evidence for the alleged affiliation with the Brotherhood. Juhayna is a household name in Egypt and the country's largest dairy products and juice producer. The Brotherhood has been subject to a sweeping crackdown since then-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi led their ouster from power in 2013.
