The New Cairo court continues the trial of a businessman accused of assaulting a security guard inside a Fifth Settlement compound, amid controversy over the presented evidence.
The defense stated that the walkie-talkie in question was not listed as evidence and no technical report proves it was damaged. They emphasized that there is no proof of damage, although the defendant is willing to cover any potential costs. The defense also highlighted the absence of documentation proving the device’s damage, despite claims of its value at around 20,000 EGP, and requested an official valuation be presented to the victims if they claim it was damaged.
Shocking Threats
Earlier, the businessman’s wife revealed that he received threatening messages including explicit threats toward their six-year-old daughter, expressing shock at the use of religious pretense to issue such threats.
Conflict Background
The wife explained that the security guard had received multiple complaints from other residents and engaged in provocative behavior, such as sitting under her balcony and mocking her, causing discomfort and insecurity, while the security vehicle remained stationed near her home.
Neighbor and Camera Role
She recounted that the neighbor’s daughter provoked the incident and her father came down holding a camera to film the altercation rather than defuse the situation, raising suspicion about premeditated filming.
Admission of Error and Management Negligence
The wife admitted her husband’s assault was wrong but stressed it was a reaction to ten months of provocation, while the compound management ignored repeated complaints, responding only with automated messages without resolving the issue.
