ALBAWABA - According to competent authorities, Saad El Soghayar's drug trial begins on October 27, before Circuit 19 North Cairo.

After Saad returned from the US, the Cairo opposition judge chose to keep him in jail for another 15 days on drug possession accusations on September 12.

On September 10, police arrested Saad El Soghayar at Cairo Airport on suspicion of possessing cocaine.

Even though the case or judgment has not been determined, Saad El Soghayar's family released a statement a few days ago in which they announced the punishment for anyone who published the text of the investigations into his latest case, in which he is suspected of drug usage.

The investigation resulted in a report, a complaint, and a statement. Mr. Attorney General, could you please explain why the public lawsuit trustee, who serves as a reliable protector of the law and its execution, as well as a safeguard of the families' honor and dignity, was subjected to such harmful attacks on my father's case files? "What gave rise to the publication of my father's case without the prosecution or court approval, and how did some websites get access to the investigations against my father?"

"The law, sir, forbids the violation of people's honor and reputation, and even prohibits the publication of any cases that have not been adjudicated," the statement said. Therefore, my family has decided to seek your Excellency's help in uncovering the improper authorization and prior adjudication of my father's investigations. The whole family is grateful to you.

In addition, Saad El Soghayar's family criticized news websites for accessing investigations without proper authorization and called on the Attorney General to assist in the inquiry.
