HIBAPRESS – Sports
An Egyptian court issued a sentence today, Tuesday, to imprison Ramadan Sobhi, a player for the Pyramids Club, for one year on charges of forgery in official documents.
The case goes back to a person taking the end-of-year exams instead of Sobhi in a tourism and hotel institute in Giza Governorate, while a third defendant was involved in facilitating the forgery process. Sobhi and the defendant who took the exams for him were sentenced to one year in prison, while a ten-year prison sentence was issued in absentia against the fugitive defendant. The player's family denied knowing about the incident, and Sherif Ekramy, the goalkeeper of Pyramids and the brother of the player's wife, confirmed that the family would appeal the sentence before the Court of Appeal. The player faced charges of forgery in official documents last April, and the Giza prosecution denied his direct knowledge, but the court ruled that he participated in the incident.
