Khaberni - The case of the "TikToker" known as "Suzy the Jordanian" has returned to the forefront of the legal scene in Egypt, this time through two parallel and complex legal pathways.
The appeal session is on December 24th.
The accused was waiting for her appeal session after being partially acquitted of three main charges:
Streaming indecent videos, attacking family values, and committing an obscene act on live broadcast.
The first-instance court acquitted her of the first two charges and only convicted her of the third, sentencing her to one year in prison and a fine of 100,000 Egyptian pounds.
However, the public prosecutor appealed the verdict regarding the two charges she was acquitted of, putting "Suzy" in front of two possible scenarios in the December 24 session:
Acceptance of the prosecution's appeal: overturning the acquittal and re-convicting her, with penalties imposed on the additional two charges,
Rejection of the appeal: upholding the acquittal of the two charges, and settling for the previously issued imprisonment and fine penalty.
The second battle: The "Money Laundering" case with a potential penalty of up to 7 years.
In parallel with the appeal, the public prosecutor's office for economic affairs referred the "money laundering" case concerning "Suzy the Jordanian" to the economic court, days after the imprisonment verdict was issued.
The investigations indicate that the accused made substantial financial profits through streaming indecent clips and obscene acts on her TikTok account and converted these revenues into cash and property assets to conceal their source, using electronic wallets and multiple bank accounts.
If the charges are proven, the penalty under Law No. 80 of 2002 for combating money laundering could range from 3 to 7 years in prison, in addition to a financial penalty equivalent to the value of the funds involved in the crime.
Seizure of the funds and properties.
In anticipation of the trial, the Cairo Criminal Court decided to seize the funds of "Suzy the Jordanian" and her parents, banning them from disposing of them, including an apartment in New Cairo, an amount exceeding 139,000 Egyptian pounds in an electronic wallet, and a gold-colored iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Thus, "Suzy the Jordanian" stands behind bars, awaiting her fate in two concurrent cases: the first related to content violating public morals and the appeal session on December 24, and the second, heavier one about the source of the funds she earned from this content.
