CAIRO- 12 September 2022: A Cairo Economic Court of Appeals acquitted Ahmed Bassam Zaki of accusation of indecent assaults against three girls, blackmailing them and using social media to harass them.
The court accepted Zaki’s appeal against the first-degree verdict of 3 years in prison. He had handed down the three years in prison on December 29, 2020 by the Cairo Economic Court.
