Egyptian television presenter Sarah Khalifa has been sentenced to death by hanging along with 11 other defendants in a major criminal case involving allegations of organised drug activity.
The 39-year-old presenter, known for hosting a crime and security programme, went from appearing on television screens to becoming the centre of one of the country’s most serious legal cases.
Prosecutors accused Khalifa and the other defendants of being involved in an organised criminal network connected to drug production and trafficking.
Authorities said the investigation uncovered alleged drug laboratories and large quantities of illegal substances, while several defendants received different outcomes from the court.
Khalifa has denied the allegations and continues to maintain her innocence as her legal team prepares to challenge the verdict through the appeals process.
The death sentence does not immediately mean ex*****on, as further legal steps remain available.
The next chapter of this shocking case may depend on what happens during the upcoming appeals.
