Conviction

[edit]

On 11 August 2024, a car accident caused by Aboul Fotouh on the Cairo-Alexandria road led to the death of a 55-year-old man. Aboul Fotouh was accompanied by his teammate, goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhy. The examination proved that Aboul Fotouh was under the influence of drugs. He was detained for 4 days pending investigation. On 13 August, his detention was renewed for 15 days.[11] He first appeared in court on 19 August. The case was adjourned until 16 September and he will remain in prison.[12] On 16 September, Abou El Fotouh was released on a 50,000 Egyptian pound bail, with the case scheduled for review on 22 October.[13] The Matrouh Criminal Court decided to postpone the trial of Aboul Fotouh to the November 16 session for pleading. Members of the victim's family attended, acknowledging the reconciliation.[14]

On 16 November 2024, the Matrouh Criminal Court sentenced Aboul Fotouh to one year in prison, suspended for three years, along with a fine of 20,000 EGP, and revoked his driver's license. A written agreement was also made between the player and the victim's family, in which Aboul Fotouh committed to paying a 10 million EGP blood money to the family. The agreement also stipulated that the family would not pursue any further legal claims against him.[15] On 9 February 2025, the court rejected Aboul Fotouh's appeal against his sentence, maintaining the original ruling, despite efforts by his defense team to challenge the decision.[16]
