A popular Egyptian TV presenter has been sentenced to death by hanging after she was convicted for her role in a massive drug trafficking ring.
Sarah Khalifa, a 39-year-old former host of Egyptian crime show “Mission Impossible” sobbed in court as she was ordered to be executed in Cairo, Al-Jazeera reported.
“Please listen to me, sir. My parents raised me well; they are people who pray, and I don’t need drug money,” Khalifa, who has more than 2 million followers on social media, pleaded to officials.
Khalifa and 11 others were sentenced to death after they were convicted of operating an organized gang that imported raw materials to make drugs, Egyptian state media reported.
Khalifa vigorously denied the charges, telling investigators she “never smoked a cigarette in my life,” according to Al Jazeera.
In addition to being a TV presenter, Khalifa ran a cosmetic surgery clinic and an event planning company. Nine others were sentenced to life in prison and seven others acquitted in the massive drug case that saw 28 people charged and more than 1,600 lbs. of narcotics seized.
Investigators also recovered unlicensed guns and ammunition, according to state media.

That is simply not true! They are shaped like elephant legs.
“My parents raised me well; they are people who pray, and I don’t need drug money.”
She does realize that gives them all the more reason to hang her, right? She’s basically admitted she knows what she did was wrong, she did it anyway, and she didn’t have to do it, which implies she did this out of pure greed and no other factor.
That’s a monumentally stupid defense to give.
Khalifa ran a cosmetic surgery clinic
Looks like she’s got a lot of “enhancement” surgeries.
“The verdict was issued after the court consulted Egypt’s grand mufti for his religious opinion — which is required by law in capital cases.”
I wonder if sporting a shirt with “Christian” in big letters hurt her case with an Islamic Mufti...
The woke liberal women won’t cry for her and complain about the Islamist based Republic of Egypt.
Yet they give 1.2 million to a self-confessed triple murderess of her offspring. If Linsey Clancy was to be given the death penalty they would march in the streets.
Just another Kim Kartrashian wannabe.
Which only made her uglier.
Quite literally.
I believe so.
And not for the better.
Neither am I.
I guess, they will burry her with a pair of perfectly good breast implants.
What a waste!
The Mufti might have looked upon her far more sympathetically it the blouse and skirt said “Christian Wirth”. Then he might have said, “That’s my girl!”
Her drug trafficking money can’t bribe her way out of that hot mess.
Let a sibling or parent of an OD death do the deed.
Let’s trade her for Clancy.
So many posters on here appear to have never traveled outside their county.
Everyone knows how fair and accurate Egypt’s justice system is. /s
