Investigations by the Public Security Sector of the Ministry of Interior revealed that Manor Jewelry belonged to a gang formation that included 15 defendants, including 5 Ukrainian men, 5 Ukrainian women, 2 Russian women, and 3 Egyptian businessmen. They used a fake company and the headquarters of the Dokki Police Department as a place to hold meetings with the victims and promote their activities through social networking sites.
Investigations revealed that the defendants tricked citizens into investing their money in buying gold and silver jewelry and precious stones at values higher than their real price, while promising them increased weekly profits, especially if they attracted new subscribers, in a pyramid scheme of fraud.
After codifying the procedures, the security forces were able to arrest all the defendants, who were in possession of adulterated gold and silver items that did not match the karat, stamp stamps, counterfeit scales, and forged wax stamps to determine the karat of gold. The financial value of the seized items was estimated at about 30 million pounds.
The seized items were handed over to the competent authorities for examination, while the investigating authorities decided to begin investigating the accused, take the necessary legal measures against them, and close the store where the incident occurred, while notifying the Public Prosecution, which took over the investigation.
