Suzy the Jordanian in the Grip of the Law.. Accusations of Money Laundering and Publishing Inappropriate Content
As part of an extensive security campaign aimed at protecting societal values, the Egyptian Ministry of Interior revealed the involvement of the blogger known as "Suzy the Jordanian" in two serious cases, the first related to money laundering resulting from illegal activities, and the second to publishing content contrary to public morals via social media platforms.
An official statement issued by the Anti-Money Laundering and Organized Crime Sector indicated that the blogger, who resides in the Matariya neighborhood of Cairo, used the proceeds from illegal activities to purchase properties worth 15 million Egyptian pounds, in an attempt to legitimize her funds.
The statement noted that the accused exploited her wide fame on social media to publish videos that "violate customs and traditions and offend the values of Egyptian society," with the aim of increasing engagement and earning illegal profits.
In a related context, the competent misdemeanor court decided to renew "Suzy"'s detention for 15 days pending investigations, after confirming her involvement in publishing content that "offends public decency" through her personal accounts.
These measures come as part of a wave of arrests that targeted several TikTok and YouTube celebrities in Egypt, following the receipt of multiple complaints from citizens and lawyers against content described as "vulgar and offensive to public morals."
Among those detained, the content creator "Madahem" was accused of publishing indecent videos, and was found in possession of amounts of money and drugs. Additionally, accusations were directed at content creators "Um Makka" and "Um Sajda" for promoting behaviors deemed inappropriate religiously and socially.
In a separate case, authorities arrested "Mawra Yousri" after she falsely accused the artist Wafaa Amer of being involved in human organ trafficking, prompting Amer to file an official complaint against her, asserting that these allegations are "far from the truth."
