Yep, that's true. The deal was worth a few million euro, the then Egyptian ambassador, one Yehya Erlamlawaya, is said to have taken a bribe to the tune of 300.000 euro for allowing the deal to proceed. The whole affair went public two years ago, when the ambassador returned to Egypt, and Egyptian authorities have been conducting an investigation into the affair ever since. According to Polish news sources he was arrested in Cairo and then released.
ReplyDeleteBut he is not Fayed, because Fayed is the current Ambassador !!??
ReplyDeleteNope, he's not. The one who was arrested in Cairo had apparently been Egyptian ambassador to Poland until two years ago. The current ambassador as well as the Egyptian authorities in general helped (if not actually started) the investigation.
ReplyDeleteso technically the foreign ministry did not lie when it said that Fayed is innocent !! Now it makes sense. If they want clear the man then they must say that it was Yahia !!
