Egypt’s Ambassador in Jeddah Hazem Ramadan declared that the Egyptian general prosecution has finished interrogating two persons over charges of implicating an elderly Egyptian woman of smuggling drugs to Saudi Arabia. Talkha Court circuit judge issued a ruling on Saturday to renew the detention of two of those accused of committing fraud against the Egyptian woman Saadia Abdel Salam for 15 days pending investigations. The two suspects who tricked the victim escaped from their village in Daqahliya once they learned of her arrest. Abdel Salam’s family claim Abdullah Al-Manzalawi told Abdel-Salam she received a free Omra trip from a man in Saudi Arabia. Investigations also revealed that Abdel Salam was only one of 10 women who were about to face the same scam.
