The testimony of Egyptian businessman Mohamed Ali against President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and his wife Intisar Amer and others opened fire on the intervention of the wives of the presidents in the affairs of governance and the issuance of decisions in the name of the presidential palace.

Egypt's modern history has seen six wives whose name has been associated with the media since the establishment of the republic. Najla Mahmoud, wife of the late President Mohamed Morsi, and finally the victory of Amer, wife of the current president.

The first lady was named in 1974 during the era of Sadat, who took off the title of his wife Jihan Safwat Raouf, after the People's Assembly (deputies) called her "first mother in Egypt" to extend the name to the first lady of Egypt.

Jihan is the first wife of an Egyptian president to graduate from the public service, making her described as an iron woman and an influential decision maker.

Release

Suzanne Thabit, Mubarak's wife, has been a prominent name in this regard, calling the opposition's elite wide range in recent years as an invisible ruler, architect of the succession project, an inherent right to choose and dismiss ministers, and a key legislator of women's laws.

However, after the January 25, 2011 revolution, she was questioned by the financial graft agency. She was imprisoned in May 2011 on charges of illegally inflating her wealth and was deported to al-Qanatir prison, before being released after her waiver. About her property.

Both the wives of the late Naguib and Abdel Nasser were absent from the spotlight, while Morsi's wife kept the light but away from the presidential palace and the responsibilities of her husband, which lasted only a year before the military coup and overthrow him. .

Accusations of corruption

As for the wife of the current president, she witnessed her attendance upwards for the past two years, focusing on social participation and a few political events, with a permanent presence at her expense on social media.

Former MP and member of parliament abroad Tariq Morsi believes that the actions of Sisi's victory in public affairs is inevitable, according to his description, and that they did not need to be disclosed by a contractor or representative.

He accused the actor and the owner of the contracting company cooperating with the army, Mohamed Ali, the wife of the President of exploiting influence and wasting public money on personal interests.

Moussa told Al-Jazeera Net "Al-Hanim state system is clearly present in the history of Egypt's rule, which we were trying to eliminate before Sisi came to power in an unconstitutional way, to apply the model of individual rule in its worst form, and thus Egypt became a private property."

"When the differences between the private and the public are removed, Sisi's wife has become a queen who spends how she wants and makes the decision at will, and may be the owner of political decisions and perhaps sovereignty.

The former deputy expressed concern that the wife of the president will continue to interfere in the official decision as seriously as she has in her small family.

He pointed out that the late President Morsi approved from the first moment a state of institutions where there is no decision of his wife, and therefore did not appear in any financial crises or accusations of corruption as it appeared to others.

Lawyer Khalaf Bayoumi, director of the Shehab Center for Human Rights, says that history has seen Susan interrogated because of the pressure of the rebels, but because the current authority does not respect the law and does not pay any attention to the constitution, there is no hope in the investigation.

Bayoumi added that these accusations are a criminal offense because they include unnecessary enrichment and the seizure of public funds, calling on the Attorney General to address all the testimony of the contractor.
