Public prosecutors in Minya are interrogating an engineer responsible for guardianship over state properties in the province for allegedly receiving bribes.
Prosecutors accuse the official of obtaining a LE40,000 bribe from an investor in return for illegally allocating him a plot of land in the province’s western desert.
Administrative Control Authority officers arrested the suspect late Wednesday at his office, and documents were seized during the raid.
