In a shocking development revealing disturbing details, security forces at the Giza Security Directorate managed to arrest a security guard working at a Tourism and Hotels Institute after his involvement in facilitating the entry of a young man to take the final exams in place of Pyramid’s star player, Ramadan Sobhi. This move comes amid intensive investigations into the identity fraud case involving the footballer, which shook both the sports and academic communities.

In a new step, the security forces are continuing their campaign to arrest the owner of a well-known café suspected of direct involvement or facilitation of this fraud, amid tight security secrecy and intense efforts to track his movements. Close sources confirmed that the network behind the incident might be broader than currently disclosed.

The real victim in this story is the player Ramadan Sobhi, who suffered a significant personal and professional blow due to this fraud, especially after the arrested young man, Youssef M. (23 years old), admitted to receiving money in exchange for taking the exam on his behalf—a major scandal threatening the reputation of both the institute and the player.

Currently, investigators are interviewing eyewitnesses and carefully reviewing surveillance footage in an attempt to uncover all details of the case and refer it to the public prosecution, which will start intensive investigations amid expectations of new surprises that could change the course of the inquiry and widen the circle of those involved.
