A complete silence fell in the corridors of the New Cairo Criminal Court, in the fifth settlement, as everyone held their breath inside the packed hall to watch the latest chapter in the case known in the media as “the main drugs”. Between the bars, this time the focus was not on cameras and media, but on journalist and producer Sara Khalifa, who was facing the most difficult moments of her life.
In the most dramatic scene of the hearing, Sarah Khalifa made one last attempt at sympathy as she stood in front of the court looking weary, clutching the official medical reports she underwent under government supervision to reveal she had a “malignant tumor” on her cervix.
With a broken voice, he addressed the courtroom through his sobs and said: “I have never smoked a cigarette in my entire life and I have never abused anyone. I don’t understand why I am on trial. Is it because I was helping everyone?”
The defense team demanded to take into account the serious state of health of the accused and to use maximum mercy and humanity. They argued that the investigation and arrest procedures were flawed and asserted that there was no record or evidence of his involvement in his phones. They tried to argue that certain sections of the drug schedule were unconstitutional in order to remove the funding tax.
Despite this medical requirement and legal protection, 2025 No. The papers of the 6838 case contained surprises that shocked those present, as the testimony of the investigator and the details of the investigation files revealed the behind-the-scenes formation of an extremely dangerous international gang specializing in the importation and production of narcotics, led by an Iraqi businessman.
The investigation revealed that Sarah Khalifa’s role was not just a passing presence. On the contrary, he was accused of providing the financial financing necessary to purchase the raw materials responsible for the synthesis of the drugs and of managing a network in which 28 defendants were involved. Security services seized more than 750 kilograms of narcotic materials and equipment in the production headquarters belonging to the formation.
Attempts to seek sympathy did not bear fruit given the amount of evidence and seizures, so the response of the judicial platform was decisive and loud. After consulting with the mufti of the Republic of Egypt, the judge announced a decision that shocked the hall: “Death by hanging by consensus for Sarah Khalifa and 12 other accused, with full confiscation of their money and bank accounts.”
Although 13 defendants were convicted, the sentences for the rest of the group ranged from life imprisonment for 9 defendants to acquittals for 7 others.
A complete silence enveloped the halls of the New Cairo Criminal Court in the Fifth Settlement as everyone held their breath in the packed courtroom to watch the final chapter of the case known in the media as the “major drug case.” Behind bars, the spotlight this time was not on cameras and media equipment, but on media personality and producer Sara Khalifa, who faced the most difficult moments of her life.
In the most dramatic scene of the hearing, Sara Khalifa made one last plea for mercy, appeared in court exhausted, had an official medical report, which she underwent under government supervision, and announced for the first time that she had been diagnosed with a “malignant tumor” on her cervix.
In a voice filled with heartache, he addressed his tearful words to the chair and said, “I have never smoked a cigarette in my entire life, and I have never harmed anyone. . . . Don’t I understand the reason for my suffering, because I was helping everyone?”
The defense team requested consideration of the accused’s serious health condition and the use of maximum mercy and humanity, arguing that the investigation and arrest procedures should be invalidated, and confirmed that his phones do not contain any recordings or evidence that would indicate his involvement. They tried to argue that certain provisions of the drug schedule were unconstitutional in order to get him off the funding charge.
Despite this medical requirement and legal protection, case files 6838 by 2025 contained surprises that shocked those present, as the testimony of the investigator and the details of the investigation files revealed the backstage of a highly dangerous international gang specializing in the importation and production of narcotics and an Iraqi businessman, led by an Iraqi businessman.
The investigation revealed that Sarah Khalifa’s role was not just a temporary presence; He was accused of providing financial support for the purchase of raw materials responsible for drug synthesis and facilitating the management of a network with 28 defendants. Security forces managed to seize more than 750 kilograms of narcotic substances and equipment from a manufacturing facility belonging to the gang.
An attempt to plead for mercy was unsuccessful given the volume of evidence and seizures, prompting a resounding and resounding response from the bench. After hearing the opinion of the Grand Mufti of Egypt, the judge announced a verdict that shocked the courtroom: “Death by unanimous hanging for Sara Khalifa and 12 other defendants, with full confiscation of their funds and bank accounts.”
While 13 accused were nooseed, sentences for the rest of the gang ranged between life imprisonment for 9 accused and acquittals for 7 others, bringing down the curtain on one of the biggest drug cases to ever hit the streets of Egypt.
