Blogger Alia Qamron Referred to Competent Court for Lack of Jurisdiction
The Economic Court refers blogger Alia Qamron to the competent court over charges of money laundering and public indecency through social media content.
The Economic Court in Cairo ruled on Wednesday to refer blogger Alia Qamron to the competent criminal court due to lack of jurisdiction in the case filed against her, involving accusations of money laundering and public indecency through videos posted on social media platforms.
The case revolves around allegations that Alia Qamron published video content containing suggestive language and behavior that violates Egyptian family values and social traditions, sparking controversy and widespread discussion online.
Investigators in Cairo had previously decided to refer her to criminal trial on charges of promoting immorality, spreading indecent material, and misusing social media platforms for financial gain and fame, after discovering that she earned substantial profits from her online content.
Earlier, the New Cairo Court had ordered her release on bail of EGP 20,000 pending investigation into accusations of violating public morals and misusing social media.
Investigations also revealed details about her background and motivation for producing such content, indicating that she initially started her online activity to generate income through advertising and viewership but later shifted to creating controversial videos that many considered offensive.
The case is now awaiting proceedings before the competent court, which will review the charges and determine the appropriate legal outcome based on the evidence presented by the Public Prosecution.
