Egyptian court sentenced Hamza Al-Musayr, a prominent broadcaster on the Quran Radio, to two years in prison for issuing two bad checks.
Judicial decision
Authorities launched an inquiry after a complaint alleged that the presenter wrote two checks for a beneficiary, which later bounced due to insufficient funds. After the investigation, the court handed down a two‑year sentence for each case, effectively four years of imprisonment.
Legal context
Under Egyptian law, issuing a check without sufficient balance is a criminal offense that carries imprisonment, fines and possible civil compensation to the injured party.
Al-Musayr hosts programs on Quran Radio, a state‑run religious station with a large audience across Egypt and the Arab world.
