We publish the merits of the ruling in the case of player Ramadan Sobhi
In the merits of the ruling, the court said that because the third defendant was busy practicing his sport, which took up all his time, he had no time to attend school or even sit for exams. In order to evade him and the fourth defendant to prevent his dismissal and his continued enrollment in the institute, and to achieve the goal that they both sought, which was for the third defendant – Ramadan Sobhi – to obtain a high qualification, they agreed that the fourth defendant would seek the assistance of someone to take the exams at the institute instead of the third defendant, in exchange for sums of money that the third defendant would pay him for each semester of the exams during the years of the institute.
In implementation of that agreement and that assistance, the fourth accused sought the help of an unknown person whose identity was not revealed by the investigations. The unknown person entered to take the exams in the first year of study in both semesters instead of the third accused, after the fourth accused provided him with the necessary data. The unknown person came to the institute, the site of the incident, for the first and second semester exams for the first academic year, and he was signing the attendance and departure lists for the committees in the semester, with signatures that he falsely attributed to the third accused. He was also editing the answers to the exam booklets for that year in both semesters, attributing what he wrote to the third accused, which was contrary to the truth.
After the success of the third accused in that squad and his transfer to the second squad, and in their continuation of the completion of their crime and implementation of what they had agreed upon, the fourth accused repeated the same procedure and sought help from another unknown person whom the investigations had not reached, and provided him with all the data and documents necessary to implement their goals. The same actions that had previously been committed by the first squad were repeated, and the third accused – Ramadan Sobhi – moved to the third squad at the aforementioned institute, based on those false procedures, which were carried out contrary to the truth by making false facts. In the form of correct facts.
After the third defendant moved to the third group at the institute, the first defendant, Youssef M., appeared on the horizon. S. Y, whom the fourth defendant used to complete the criminal actions that the third and fourth defendants had begun, represented by making the false facts appear as true facts, which is that the third defendant obtained a high qualification and continued to obtain proof of registration that enabled him to travel with his sports team in international competitions. The fourth defendant agreed with the first defendant that he would take the exams scheduled for the third year at the institute instead of the third defendant, in exchange for an amount of five thousand pounds per semester. The fourth defendant provided the first defendant with the data and documents necessary for him to attend the institute and take the exams instead of the third.
The first accused came to the headquarters of the institute, the site of the incident, at the start of the first semester exams for the third group, and he signed the attendance and departure lists for all subjects for that semester with signatures that he falsely attributed to the third accused, and he wrote the answers to the notebooks for that semester from that group, and wrote the answer phrases for those subjects that he falsely attributed to the third accused as well, thus making a false fact appear as a true fact.
On 5/13/2025, when the first accused was present in Examination Committee No. 27 in Hall No. 15 of the institute, the site of the incident, to perform the first subject of the second semester of the third year instead of the third accused, he impersonated the third accused, specifically the subject “Business of Tourism Companies 2” for the academic year 2024/2025.
After the committees were organized and the students began to answer the required questions, including the first accused, who was impersonating the third accused, he signed the committee attendance list by falsely ascribing him to the third accused, and wrote phrases in the answer booklet that he also falsely attributed to the third accused. In this case, the first prosecution witness, Professor Dr. Issam Z., assistant professor in the Department of Hotel Studies at the institute, happened to pass by to inspect the progress of the examination process in that committee where the first accused was located, where he was caught red-handed in the crime, and was detained by the institute’s security, and legal measures were taken against him. The first accused admitted to committing the incident in collaboration and agreement with the fourth accused.
