Egyptian Pop Star Essam Sasa Faces Trial for Forgery, Middleman Claims Innocence

Egyptian pop star Essam Sasa and his brother are facing trial for allegedly forging a legal document. The case stems from an incident where Sasa was involved in a car accident that resulted in a fatality. A middleman, Mahmoud El-Leithi, who was involved in helping Sasa after the accident, has come forward to deny any knowledge or involvement in the forgery. El-Leithi claims he only acted as a mediator between Sasa and a lawyer. The charges against Sasa and his brother include falsifying a power of attorney document, which was allegedly used to hire a lawyer while Sasa was out of the country. The case has generated considerable media attention in Egypt, with the trial attracting significant public interest.
