Giza Criminal Court’s Circuit 31 sentenced Karim K., a buffet worker at the
Warraq police station described as a student, to six months’ imprisonment with
labor and a 10,000-pound fine for hashish possession.[1] The same ruling is
reported as punishment for bringing hashish to a detainee inside the Warraq
station.[2] The court said it used leniency because he is a student who works
to pay for his studies.[1] The six-month term came after a retrial, replacing
a three-year prison term previously imposed in his absence.[2]
The prosecution charged him in case 5898 of 2026 for Warraq felonies, registered
as 2432 of 2026 for North Giza, with possessing hashish and a knife without
legal justification.[1] Criminal investigations said he brought the hashish to
one of his clients inside the Warraq station detention area.[2] The chemical
laboratory reported that the seized items were nine brown pieces of hashish,
listed in the first schedule of narcotics, weighing 7.090 grams.[1]
The panel was headed by Judge Hani Louis Abdel Malek with three other judges,
with Ashraf Salah and Raafat Abdel Tawab as secretaries.[1]
The articles give only the publication date of 3 November 2026 and no separate date for the ruling; 3 November 2026 is used as the incident date.
Masrawy's opened text describes the allegation as trafficking inside a cafe in the Warraq district, while Al Nahar reports bringing hashish to a client or detainee inside Warraq station detention; the report uses the shared Warraq possession allegation and attributes both wordings.
Masrawy gives the weight as 7.090 grams while Al Nahar prints 7090 grams without the decimal; the report uses 7.090 grams and treats the latter as a missing-decimal typo.
The submitted page's only listed image is captioned as the presiding judge, a portrait of an official that does not show this event, so no media entry is listed.
The reports do not state when the defendant was arrested or how the knife charge was resolved beyond the single sentence and fine.
