Businessman Salah Diab arrested Tuesday over charges of financial violations

CAIRO – 1 September 2020: Security sources told press that businessman Salah Diab was arrested on Tuesday morning to be interrogated over a number of "financial charges."

The sources said that a statement will be released by authorities later on Tuesday.

The firms owned by Diab were charged of committing financial violations years ago, and he was offered a settlement. Yet, no settlements have been achieved until present.

It is noted this is the second time he gets arrested as he and his son "Tawfik" were charged in 2015 of possessing unlicensed arms and bullets but they were cleared by the court in 2017.
