The competent court announced that the first trial session for a photographer involved in the “Cigar Lawyer” plane video will be held on Sunday, February 8, after he filmed without prior permission, violating airport regulations.

Earlier, the lawyer’s public appearances sparked controversy due to his luxury car, private plane, and personal security, prompting prominent legal figures, including Mortada Mansour, to criticize his public display, emphasizing that media appearances do not reflect his actual professional standing.

The office of the late lawyer Farid Al-Deeb also issued a formal statement, denouncing the exploitation of his name for media attention, and clarifying that individuals claiming close ties with him had only brief interactions. The statement highlighted Al-Deeb’s modesty and avoidance of public showmanship, stressing the importance of respecting his legacy.

The statement concluded with a warning that any misuse of Al-Deeb’s name in the future will be confronted by his family and students, reaffirming the protection of his legal and professional legacy.
