Hurghada / Solingen – New and shocking details have emerged in the real estate fraud case involving the lawyer (W. G). He not only seized his German client’s money, but also resorted to coercion and opportunism to give his theft a “legal” appearance.
The first crime: Sale without authorization
The incident began when the lawyer secretly sold two properties owned by his German client without obtaining any power of attorney or prior authorization. Instead of handing over the sale proceeds to the rightful owner, the lawyer kept the money for himself, leaving behind a major legal loophole.
The dark turn: Prosecution and coercion to sign
When the illegal sale was exposed, the lawyer did not back down; instead, he exerted intense pressure and a form of intimidation and coercion against his client. He forced the victim to sign a new contract providing for the “rescission of the sale” (Rückabwicklung).
- The deception: The new contract included an acknowledgment by the lawyer to repay the client the sums of money in exchange for the latter waiving his rights to the properties that had already been sold.
- The objective: The purpose of this contract was to protect the lawyer from criminal prosecution for unlawfully disposing of another person’s property and to shift the case from “theft” to a mere “contractual dispute.”
Two years of stalling: Promises like a mirage
Since signing that contract two years ago, the victim has been caught in an endless cycle of false promises. The lawyer followed a “playing for time” strategy, using a long list of flimsy excuses:
- Claims of technical issues with bank transfers.
- Repeated promises to pay “next week” or “by the end of the month.”
- Ignoring calls and deliberate stalling to wear down the victim’s patience.
Conclusion: Premeditated intent not to pay
Legal experts confirm that this conduct is not merely a financial setback, but premeditated intent to defraud. The lawyer has not repaid a single euro in two years, proving that signing the “repayment” contract was nothing more than a means to buy time and silence the victim temporarily.
These developments place a significant responsibility on the Egyptian authorities to deter such practices that harm the reputation of investment and the rule of law. The affected family is calling for the lawyer to be held accountable for abusing his professional influence to intimidate and pursue his clients.
