Ahmed Fatouh, a player for Zamalek club and the Egyptian national football team, has sparked widespread controversy after being involved in a hit-and-run accident that resulted in the death of a person on the Cairo-Alexandria desert road.
The accident occurred in the early hours of Sunday morning, and Fattouh was arrested and subjected to tests that showed that he was using drugs.
The complexities of the case are evident in the conflicting accounts of the victim’s identity; while some reports indicate that the victim was a policeman, other reports say that the victim is a young man named Ahmed El-Sayed who was passing by the side of the road by chance at the time of the accident.
The Egyptian authorities are seeking to collect eyewitness testimonies and download surveillance camera recordings to understand the circumstances of the accident more accurately.
Ahmed Fatouh occupies the position of left back and is considered one of the most prominent players in the Zamalek and Egyptian national team squad and is considered one of the best local players in his position in recent years.
