A date has been set to interrogate Ahmed Ezz, the former chairman of Egypt's national assembly's budget committee, regarding his fortune, profiteering and his relationship with the former regime. The decision came from Chancellor Assem el-Gohari, assistant to the Minister of Justice in the Illicit Gains Authority (IGA). The IGA's investigative chairman, Khaled Selim, will take Ezz's statements and go through reports of regulatory bodies and public fund investigators recently received by the authority. The investigation is regarding Ezz's accumulation of wealth, including real estate, property, liquid funds, and moveable shares and bonds in companies and banks in Egypt and abroad. A source at the authority revealed that it received a secret report regarding Ezz's wealth, comprised of six companies working in iron and steel; 3,027 shares of stock attributed to Ezz as well as several shares worth 7 billion EGP (U.S. $1.2b); bank account balances of around 3 billion EGP (U.S. $500m); many properties, including palaces, villas, luxury apartments, and land in Menoufiya, Agamy, Hurghada, Mansuriyah, and the North Coast; and five luxury cars. The report also included investigations into stock owned by his wives and sons.
