Court rejects Bassem Youssef’s appeal against EGP 100 mn fine to CBC

A Cairo court rejected talk show host Bassem Youssef’s appeal to reverse a 2013 verdict ordering him to pay a EGP 100 mn fine to satellite network CBC, Ahram Gate reports. The Cairo Regional Center For International Commercial Arbitration had ruled in CBC’s favor back in 2013, ordering Youssef to compensate the company for contract violations.
