An Egyptian Member of the House of Representatives Enas Abdel-Halim accused famous artist and rapper Mohamed Ramadan of committing a “criminal act” that would harm the Egyptian economy by claiming that the state had seized his money. Ramadan posted a video on his Facebook page on Thursday in which he said that the bank had told him that the government seized his money. Halim demanded that Ramadan be held accountable for misusing social media in accordance with the articles of Law #175 of 2018 on combating information technology crimes. This “criminal act” could negatively impact the Egyptian economy and the Egyptian Stock Exchange, and could also harm even projects being carried out by the state, she warned. Aboul-Yousr suffered material and moral damage after Ramadan published a picture on social media in a plane’s cockpit in October 2019.
