Cairo - Akram Ali
An Egyptian lawyer has filed a former complaint against President Mohammed Morsi, calling for an investigation into alleged links between the Egyptian leader, the Qatari government and Hamas.
Lawyer Samir Sabri has alleged Qatar has funded Hamas to the tune of $250m, allowing President Morsi to run the country with the help of Hamas militias.
Speaking to Arabstoday, Sabri said: “I demand the disclosure of the document question. It is the right of every Egyptian to know what is going on behind-the-scenes, particularly in the wake of the corruption of the former regime.”
“This document is dangerous,” Sabri continued, “because if it is correct, this means that Qatar is interfering in the internal affairs of Egypt and that the President used an external political movement to enable him to control state institutions.”
Hamas militias are allegedly working as presidential guards and national security forces, in collusion with President Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sabri stressed that the introduction of external militias poses a threat to Egyptian national security.
