Suspected Fraudster Arrested in Cairo’s Zeitoun Over Military College Admission Claims

A suspected fraudster has been arrested in Cairo’s Zeitoun district after allegedly claiming he could guarantee students admission to military colleges.

The case centres on purported influence over admissions, with the suspect accused of using that claim to deceive people seeking places for students.

The arrest comes amid Interior Ministry efforts to combat fraud, including schemes in which people claim to have influence they can use on behalf of others to obtain their money.

The available information did not specify how many people were allegedly targeted or how much money, if any, changed hands.
