ALSO ON THE AIRWAVES- El Degwi believes she was robbed of EGP 50 mn, USD 3 mn, GBP 350k, and 15 kg of gold when her second home in 6th of October was broken into and her safes had their combinations changed. With the authorities still unable to open the safes, it remains unclear if the money and gold were stolen or if the combination was just changed. “El Degwi suspects one of her grandchildren stole the money and changed the passwords of the safes where she kept her belongings,” Al Masry Al Youm managing editor Yousry El Badry told El Hekaya’s Amr Adib (watch, runtime: 11:57). Moussa (watch, runtime: 9:46) and El Hadidi (watch, runtime: 11:16) also had coverage.
