For the past few days, Hamdeen Sabahi, former presidential candidate and founder of the Egyptian Popular Current, has been the target of severe criticism — not for his politics, but for his daughter Salma's alleged misconduct.
Salma Sabahi turned herself in to authorities on May 22, after a prosecutor charged her with fraud and issued a warrant for her arrest. More than 20 plaintiffs accused her of soliciting at least $23,000, promising them quick and easy profits through investment in an online company called Global Ad Mart, which supposedly pays hundreds of dollars to people who agree to watch five advertisement videos every week.
