Egyptian businessman Naguib Sawiris stirred reactions with his comment on a post that claimed legal expert Saeed Afifi alleged that late Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was involved in a corruption case valued at more than Egypt's total debt.
The details reveal that the page "Egypt Technocrats Party," verified on the platform "X," shared statements attributed to legal advisor Saeed Afifi, stating: "I will talk to you about the corruption caused by Egypt's presidents; today I will address a matter that has been raised and confirmed, but unfortunately, the trials did not continue... We must discuss the platinum issue, a very large amount that was seized by Mubarak... 17 tons and 400 kilograms of expensive platinum were transferred to Switzerland and deposited in Mubarak's account there. God knows what happened to it, and as I mentioned in past videos, they shared with Mubarak's sons in the money released by the European Union."
The party shared the video commenting: "Dr. Saeed Afifi reveals... Mubarak seized 17 thousand tons of platinum owned by Egypt, transferred it in his name, and moved it to Switzerland, which is valued at over 200 billion dollars, more than Egypt's total debt."
Sawiris responded by retweeting the "Egypt Technocrats Party" post, expressing disbelief: "Any talk in the potatoes, fear God, if you're a man, show the documents, you liar."
In response to Sawiris, one follower commented, "You stretched it a lot," to which the Egyptian businessman replied, "Very much."
Meanwhile, Alaa Mubarak, the son of the late Egyptian president, sarcastically remarked on Sawiris's post: "Responding to an idiot creates noise. But the truth is the platinum, and you can find it inside the asparagus; it has indeed been smuggled in large amounts to Mr. Hamdi Lada's spare parts center on Joseph Tito axis behind the airport," he expressed.
Afifi clarified in response to Sawiris's post, "I said 17 tons and not 17 thousand tons. Moreover, my sources are below the video on YouTube, and I am not required to distribute them to the whole world."
