The Juvenile Criminal Court at the North Cairo Court rejected the appeal filed by the son of former Zamalek football player Ahmed Hossam Mido against his seven-month prison sentence in a case involving alleged drug possession and consumption and resisting authorities in Cairo.
Court Rejects Appeal by Ahmed Hossam Mido’s Son
The Juvenile Appeals Court had previously upheld the seven-month prison sentence issued against Mido’s son in the case involving allegations of drug possession and consumption and resisting authorities.
The Juvenile Prosecution had referred the defendant to the competent juvenile court, which initially sentenced him to imprisonment. The ruling was subsequently appealed, but the appeal was rejected and the original sentence was upheld.
Details of the Case
The incident reportedly began when a security patrol was conducting a nighttime traffic campaign in New Cairo. Officers stopped a vehicle being driven by the defendant.
According to the case details, the driver was identified as the son of former football player Ahmed Hossam Mido. Security officers reportedly found approximately three grams of hashish, along with a bottle containing an alcoholic substance.
A girl was also reportedly inside the vehicle at the time. When officers attempted to take the necessary measures, the defendant allegedly resisted the security personnel, according to the case documents.

Following the arrest, the competent authorities investigated the incident before the Juvenile Prosecution referred the case to the appropriate juvenile court.
