The innocence of Mortada Mansour from insulting Mahmoud Al-Khatib.. and this is Al-Ahly's position

Zamalek Club announced in an official statement, Sunday, that the Cairo Economic Court of Appeal issued a final ruling to stop the implementation of the prison sentence against Mortada Mansour, the club’s president, and to cancel it in the case of insulting and defaming Al-Ahly president Mahmoud Al-Khatib.

Last April, the Court of First Instance issued a ruling to imprison Mortada for one year because of the accusation of Al-Khatib of insulting him on his official page. The final decision today acquitted him of the charge against him, and the ruling included stopping the implementation of the prison sentence and canceling it.

The Zamalek club statement indicated that some officials in Egypt offered the two parties to end the differences through a joint statement, but the president of Al-Ahly club refused.

The court’s decision comes before the expected confrontation between Al-Ahly and Zamalek next Thursday in the Egypt Cup final.
