Man Arrested in Alexandria Over Alleged Spiritual-Healing Scam

Police in Alexandria arrested a man accused of defrauding people by claiming he could provide spiritual healing and help them make profits through social media.

Information gathered by the General Department for the Protection of Public Morals, part of the Specialized Police Sector, indicated that the suspect had taken money from citizens through deception.

The allegations centred on promises of spiritual treatment and financial gains, which authorities said were used to attract victims.

The supplied account did not disclose how much money was involved, how many people were affected or whether any further legal action had been taken.
