Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry received a telephone call from his Polish counterpart, in which he thanked Egypt for the cooperation between the Egyptian and Polish authorities in following up the investigation into the death of Polish tourist Magdalena Zuk, a 27-year-old, who died in the Red Sea a few days ago. For their part, Polish officials said the tourist may have been a victim of organized crime in human trafficking. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported Polish officials as saying that Polish investigators followed several hypotheses in the investigation, including rape, and the involvement of human trafficking gangs in the incident. According to witness reports, Magdalena was extremely upset that her boyfriend could not join her on the trip. She was seen crying at the airport, Polish media reported.
