As part of ongoing efforts to counter attempts by the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group to distort the image of state institutions, a security source has denied the accuracy of claims made in a video circulated on social media pages linked to Brotherhood elements. The video allegedly showed a man being subjected to violations by police forces at the Al-Husseiniya police station in Al-Sharqia Governorate.

The footage included allegations that police forces raided a car showroom owned by the man in the video, destroyed its contents, stole a sum of money, and assaulted members of his family. The security source described these claims as “pure fabrication and completely false.”

The Real Incident
The source clarified that the actual incident took place on July 27, 2025, when a report was received at Al-Husseiniya Police Station regarding a quarrel between two parties: the first being a tuk-tuk driver who sustained lacerations, and the second involving a relative of the man in the video and his son. The altercation stemmed from a minor dispute over passenger pick-up rights, which escalated into a physical fight.
Upon the arrival of law enforcement to contain the situation and apprehend those involved, the complainant, his brother, and several of their relatives attempted to obstruct the police from performing their duties. Legal action was taken accordingly, and a number of individuals were arrested, while the man featured in the video managed to flee the scene.

Arrest Warrant and Capture in Giza
The source added that following an initial investigation, the Public Prosecution issued an arrest warrant for the fugitive. Based on thorough intelligence work, his location was identified in the Giza Governorate, where he was apprehended during a legally sanctioned raid.
The source emphasized that all procedures were conducted transparently and in full accordance with the law, without any misconduct by the security forces. He stressed that the narrative presented in the circulated video is merely an attempt to distort the truth and frame a criminal incident as a fabricated political case.

An Attempt to Mislead Public Opinion
The source revealed that the accused filmed and shared the video on social media shortly before his arrest in an effort to mislead public opinion and influence the investigation by presenting a false version of events with no supporting evidence or legal basis.
He added that this is not the first time the Muslim Brotherhood has employed such systematic tactics—using isolated incidents or exaggerating minor events to incite public sentiment against state institutions, spread confusion, and undermine trust in security agencies. These efforts, he noted, are now widely recognized and rejected by the Egyptian public, who have become more aware of the group’s agendas and its affiliates.
In conclusion, the source affirmed that the Ministry of Interior remains committed to carrying out its national duty with discipline and in accordance with the law. It will not tolerate any attempts to manipulate public opinion or spread falsehoods and will continue to uphold transparency and respond firmly to all who seek to distort the truth or incite discord.

Counselor Nevin Wahsh emphasizes that criminal investigations, despite their importance in the initial detection of crimes, cannot be considered fully-fledged evidence in criminal proceedings. Not every piece of information recorded in investigation reports rises to the level of legal proof, and the belief formed by law enforcement officers cannot, on its own, justify a criminal conviction.
