Lawyer Magdy Helmy had filed the compensation lawsuit against Ramadan, stating that his client suffered material and moral damages after Ramadan published a picture on social media in a plane’s cockpit in October 2019.

Dokki Misdemeanor Appellant Court in Giza later accepted an appeal filed by Ramadan later against his sentence.
