Egyptian security forces have apprehended the manager of an unlicensed educational institution in Qalyubia, a governorate located north of Cairo. The institution was found to be operating without a license, deceiving citizens by promising them job opportunities in exchange for financial compensation. According to a statement, the institution's manager was taken into custody, and several documents and items were seized from the premises.

The investigation, led by the General Administration for Combating and Protecting Intellectual Property Rights, revealed that the institution was established and managed by an individual who created fake certificates to lure citizens seeking employment opportunities. The suspect claimed that these certificates would enable them to secure jobs, but in reality, they were worthless. The institution's activities were carried out in the Banha district of Qalyubia.

Upon searching the institution's premises, authorities found several blank certificates, financial receipts, and an official-looking seal. The manager of the institution confessed to the crime, stating that they were involved in the scheme along with the institution's owner, with the goal of making a profit. The authorities have initiated legal proceedings against those involved.

The General Administration for Combating and Protecting Intellectual Property Rights, under the specialized police sector, played a crucial role in uncovering the institution's illicit activities. Their efforts led to the identification and apprehension of the institution's manager and the seizure of evidence.

The case highlights the Egyptian authorities' ongoing efforts to combat fraudulent activities and protect citizens from scams. In recent times, the country has witnessed several instances of crackdowns on unlicensed institutions and individuals engaging in deceitful practices.

The arrested manager and the owner of the institution are expected to face legal consequences for their actions. The authorities have been working to ensure that those responsible are held accountable and that such institutions are shut down to prevent further exploitation of citizens.

The incident serves as a reminder for citizens to be cautious when dealing with institutions that promise lucrative opportunities, especially if they seem too good to be true. It also underscores the importance of verifying the authenticity and legitimacy of such institutions before engaging with them.
