CAIRO – 23 May 2022: Cairo Criminal Court sentenced on Monday Mohamed Al-Amin, a renowned Egyptian businessman, to three years in prison over human trafficking charges. The court’s rigorous imprisonment ruling against Amin is not final and therefore can be appealed. Amin was referred to the court after he was charged by the prosecution of committing acts that are punishable by law against a number of girls at the orphanage he founded in Beni Suef. The statement added that he exploited their weakness, threatening to expel them from the orphanage if they reported him. The statement revealed that the eyewitnesses included the girls in the orphanage, officials at the social solidarity ministry and the admin of Missing Children Facebook page.
