Egypt TV host Ahmed Moussa sentenced to 3 months for insulting top auditor
This is the first sentence Moussa has received for attacking public and political figures on his daily TV show
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 06 - 05 - 2015

A Cairo misdemeanor court sentenced TV host Ahmed Moussa to three months in jail and a fine of LE 500 for insulting Hisham Geneina, the head of Egypt's Central Auditing Organisation (CAO).
Geneina filed two lawsuits against Mossua, accusing the famous TV host of insulting him in his daily night talk show on Sada El-Balad channel.
Geneina presented to the court two episodes of the daily show from last November where Ahmed Moussa claimed Hisham Geneina was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood – officially designated as a terrorist organisation in Egypt.
This is not the first time Moussa has been sentenced to jail for attacking public figures in the past six months.
In December 2014 Ahmed Moussa was sentenced to six months in jail and a fine of LE10,000 for insulting Tarek El-Awady – a lawyer for Zamalek's Ultras White Knights fan club – and airing false news.
In March 2015 he was also sentenced to two years in jail and a fine of LE 20,000 for insulting former chief of the Democratic Front Party and writer Osama El-Ghazali Harb
In April 2015 the court upheld a sentence to fine Ahmed Moussa LE 15,000 for insulting political activist Esraa Abdel Fattah.
Moussa is known to be a staunch opponent of the January 25 revolution that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak after three decades of rule. He has repeatedly launched verbal attacks on activists associated with the 2011 uprising, but had never been summoned to court over such accusations.
He is a strong supporter of the government and the administration of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
