- Authorities arrested a 43-year-old bakery owner in Qalta al-Kubra village, al-Bagour, after finding 350 ration cards and 250 kg of subsidized flour in his possession.
- The arrest followed two social media videos showing the owner collecting ration cards and refusing to dispense bread on October 25, 2026.
- An inspection found the bakery produced bread underweight by 15 grams, and the owner was wanted in three cases.
- Menoufia Governor Amro al-Gharib said campaigns will continue against those manipulating the subsidy system to ensure bread reaches entitled citizens.
- The suspect confessed to committing the act on October 25 to extract subsidy balances and sell the flour illegally for profit, the Interior Ministry said.
