Egypt: Revealing a new surprise in the "Treasure Apartment" that Sisi talked about

The Egyptian media revealed new details about the issue of "the effects of the Zamalek apartment", which Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi spoke about.

The case papers revealed that the accused and his wife possessed 1,384 antiquities for the purpose of acquiring and trading them, and that they were very careful to secure the places for storing the pieces inside (the residential unit and a shop under the property), and due to the accumulation of rare antiquities in them, they changed the doors and reinforced them with special iron locks and closed some Brick windows for fear of theft.

And it was proven from the Public Prosecution’s examination of the housing unit that the wooden doors in the rooms were not painted, and that they were provided with three-toned latches (chokes) out of their places, and that there were traces of fractures in their throats, which indicates that they were allocated to storing things in them and securing them with the provisions of their closure.

The couple who owned the antiques also blocked the windows of the kitchen and the main bathroom that overlook the skylights of the property with bricks and oysters, in contrast to the engineering design of the units represented on the other floors of the property, which indicates the keenness to secure the unit tightly.

An inspection of the apartment rooms and an examination of their entire contents revealed a surprise to the inspecting men, who found a secret cache behind a sliding door in one of the bedrooms in the apartment, containing a tightly closed metal cupboard containing many valuable antiques and closed boxes of various shapes and sizes.

The first accused used to buy and sell his archaeological possessions and exchange the excess of his needs for others he wanted to own, and that has been continuously for years until his house was crowded with it, forcing him to rent the shop under the property that his wife called a sign bearing the name "The High Door", whose contents included many From notched boxes, paintings, upholstery, and metal parts, secure it well with an airtight iron door.

Investigations indicated that all parts of the unit and its cupboards and rooms dedicated to display were piled high with collectibles of various shapes and sizes, made boxes, paintings filling its walls, and chandeliers hanging from its ceilings.

The Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi had thanked the judges and the employees of the Sentence Execution Department in the South Cairo Court for their efforts in seizing “one of the important cases” (the “Zamalek Treasure” case).
