A lawsuit raised by the lawyer Mohamed Hamouda against Essam Sharaf, Tarek Amer and Ahmed Zewail for allegedly seize of public funds, illegal profiteering and intentional damage of public funds.
Hamouda claimed that Zewail City of Science and Technology is a wasteful and fake project. Zewail called on citizens to donate for the project through an account at the National Bank of Egypt (NBE) headed by Tarek Amer who donated with EGP 250 million of the bank’s deposits to an unlicensed project, he said.
The lawyer stated that the former Prime Minister Essam Sharaf enabled Zewail of seizing the Nile University in violation of law.
