The lawyer of prominent Egyptian businessman Mohamed Elamin, accused of harassing and assaulting girls from an orphanage, revealed a major surprise in the case. The lawyer stated that he presented a document proving his client’s official marriage to Randa Rizk, who works as an advisor to the Minister of Social Solidarity. He clarified: "My client met Randa while completing the paperwork for the Safe Hands orphanage, confirming that he legally finalized the orphanage’s procedures."
The defense attorney for Mohamed Elamin stated in front of the court that the former advisor to the Minister of Social Solidarity, Randa R., embezzled 12 million Egyptian pounds allocated by her husband for “Ramadan bags” and fled. He continued, saying that she incited the girls from “Safe Hands” orphanage, owned by his client, to report him, seeking revenge after he discovered her theft, according to Egyptian media.
The lawyer added that Randa is the legally recognized wife of Mohamed Elamin and is behind fabricating these charges, starting from their disputes and after their divorce in October 2021. He emphasized that she bought clothes and food for the girls in the orphanage following her ex-husband's arrest, indicating she wanted to take revenge against him and maintained a close relationship with the victims.
The prosecution's decision included referring the accused, Mohamed Elamin, to criminal court, where he faces charges of human trafficking involving seven underage girls, forcibly assaulting them with threats, supported by the testimonies of 13 witnesses, the victims’ statements, findings from analyzing the accused's mobile phone, and reports from the forensic medicine authority, and the National Council for Motherhood and Childhood, as well as psychological and social research from the Ministry of Social Solidarity.
