The public prosecutor in Suez ordered the detention of Captain al-Saeed Ali Habib, director general of al-Adabeya seaport, and Wagdy Mohamed al-Noweishy, director of Ataka fishing port, for four days pending investigations over bribery charges.
The Administrative Control Authority allegedly caught Habib in the act as he was receiving a bribe from a private company executive in order to facilitate its work and commit illegal actions.
Noweishy was also arrested while allegedly taking bribes from the chair of a fish-drying plant for exporting banned fish and smuggling subsidized diesel fuel.
