Mahraganat Singer Magdy Shatta Referred to Criminal Court on Drug Trafficking Charge

Mahraganat singer Magdy Shatta has been referred to a criminal court on a charge of trafficking in the drug known as “ice,” or crystal methamphetamine.

The referral comes after Shatta returned to custody following his release from prison in 2025. He had spent nine months behind bars in connection with his previous case.

His latest detention has brought renewed attention to his criminal record. The available information, however, does not specify the charge in the earlier case or provide a fuller account of his legal history.

No trial date or further details of the alleged trafficking offence were provided. The referral places the accusation before a criminal court; it is not a conviction.
