TYCOON CHARGED WITH MURDER
Wednesday, 03 Sep 2008
On Tuesday, Hisham Talaat Mustafa, a tycoon from Egypt, was charged for paying a large sum of money, allegedly to a retired policeman, to arrange the murder of Suzanne Tamim, a pop singer from Lebanon. Tamim was allegedly Mustafa’s lover over a period of three years. Tamim was murdered at her upmarket property in Dubai in July of this year; she was stabbed a number of times and her throat was cut.
Mustafa has a membership with the Shura Council, which is a higher house of parliament in Egypt, and rumour has it that Mustafa is also a good friend of president Hosni Mubarak’s son, Gamal. Mustafa also manages the Talaat Mustafa Group real estate group, which is worth billions of dollars. The company deals with various construction projects, property in Dubai and other regions, and high-class tourist developments, and also has dealings in agriculture and land reclamation.
According to a legal source, Mustafa has been placed under arrest and will be held until the trial. The prosecutor said that the retired policeman, Mohsen al-Sukkari, has also been arrested and has been charged with the actual murder itself. The local media liaison stated that Sukkari had been contracted by a number of companies in Egypt to deal with security. If convicted, both Sukkari and Mustafa could very well be facing the death penalty for their crimes.
The amount allegedly paid by Mustafa to Sukkari was two million dollars, and it is strongly suspected that Sukkari was to watch Tamim’s place of accommodation in Dubai for a period of time before murdering her. Sukkari purchased a knife and went to Tamim’s property in Dubai, telling her that he worked for the owner of the building. He then allegedly stabbed her until she died after she opened the front door.
