- Mokattam Misdemeanor Court convened its session at the Zaynhum complex to try Ismail Dollar, businessman Bahi Suleiman, and three others over a dispute with cafe tenants in the Mokattam commercial complex.
- Prosecutors accused the group of showing force and threatening violence to force tenants to accept rent increases beyond their contracts.
- Ismail Dollar denied all charges during prosecution questioning, stating he visited the site alone at a friend's request to provide a security-inspection quote.
- Investigation documents quote tenants saying company staff and Dollar broke electrical control room locks and cut power to commercial units on August 23, 2026.
