Public prosecutors have removed businessman and CBC satellite channel owner Mohamed al-Amin from a travel ban list.
Amin had faced travel restrictions over accusations of tax evasion, following public criticism in a speech by President Mohamed Morsy.
Amin is the owner of CBC satellite channel, a vocal critic of the role of deposed President Mohamed Morsy and his Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood. It is home to Egypt's most popular comic show, al-Bermaneg, presented by Bassem Youssef, a scathing critic of the toppled president who had been interrogated over charges of insulting the president and Islam.
The accusations against Amin were filed after a speech by President Morsy in late June, in which the ousted leader said the CBC owner was indebted to banks.
"There are honest businessmen in Egypt and [on the other hand] there are Mohamed al-Amin, who owes taxes and whose channel harasses us, and Ahmed Bahgat, who owes banks LE3 billion and whose channel also harasses us. Nobody will escape justice," Morsy threatened.
