The case, known as the "fake judge" case, involves a man who allegedly impersonated a judge and committed several crimes, including fraud and forgery. The defendant is set to appear before the Ain Shams Misdemeanor Court on October 20 to hear the verdict. The case involves three separate charges, including two counts of fraud and one count of impersonating a judge. The defendant's lawyer has argued that his client is not responsible for his actions and has requested that the court consider his client's mental state.

According to the investigation, the defendant and four others, including three court employees, were involved in the crimes. The defendant allegedly used his fake identity as a judge to gain the trust of his victims and convince them to pay him for his services. He also allegedly took photos and videos of himself wearing a judicial robe and published them on social media to make his claims appear more credible. The court has heard testimony from witnesses and reviewed evidence, including photos and videos, that show the defendant and others involved in the crimes.

The case began when a citizen reported being scammed by the defendant, who claimed to be a judge and offered to help him obtain a housing unit. The citizen became suspicious and reported the incident to the authorities. An investigation was launched, and the defendant was arrested and found to be in possession of a firearm, ammunition, and a judicial robe. He also had several phones and cards with fake identification.

During questioning, the defendant admitted to impersonating a judge and committing the crimes. He also implicated others, including court employees, who were involved in the scheme. The court has heard from several witnesses, including the citizen who reported the incident and others who were allegedly scammed by the defendant. The defendant's lawyer has argued that his client is not responsible for his actions and has requested that the court consider his client's mental state.

The defendant's lawyer has pointed out that his client's behavior was unusual and that he was able to afford a luxurious lifestyle despite working as a laborer. He has suggested that his client's actions may have been the result of a mental health issue. The court will consider this argument when delivering its verdict. The defendant's case has garnered significant attention in Egypt, with many people expressing outrage and shock at his actions.

The case highlights the issue of impersonation and fraud in Egypt, where many people have fallen victim to scams and fake identities. The authorities have been working to crack down on these crimes and bring those responsible to justice.
